Week At A Glance

March 30-April 3, 2026

     This week we are talking about things that come from eggs. Birds, reptiles, some snakes, and even a mammal or two come from eggs. This Friday, April 3 is our Humpty Dumpty Egg drop. The Humpty Dumpty Egg drop is a Larsen Kindergarten tradition that began long before I was here. Each kindergartener should hard boil an egg, and then think of a way to protect it. Mr. Anderson will be HURLING the eggs off of the school roof. Anything you can think of to protect “Humpty” is fair game. I have seen pillows, balloons, packing peanuts, balls, and even Jell-O. The egg needs to come to school with your child on Friday, but you are welcome to come later in the day to watch the “hurling”. We will start throwing Humptys at 11:00 on the blacktop near the kindergarten playground. If you have any questions let me know.

     April 3 we will be having a small Easter egg hunt too. We will be filling eggs at school, but could use a little help with candy. If you would like to help, please send a bag of wrapped candy to go in Easter eggs to school with your child by Thursday.

     Two papers went home in folders last week. One is the Fiesta Days reading challenge paper. It is for reading minutes for April, and needs to be returned by May 1. Your child could win tickets to the Fiesta Days Rodeo and more. The second one is a splash summit reading challenge. The splash summit paper is really for March. I thought they went home earlier in the month one of the days I had a sub, but they didn’t. I am still sending it, because you can use your other reading calendar to fill it out. The Splash Summit papers need to be returned by April 2.

     Thursday, April 23 is our Hogle Zoo field trip. I will need parents to help chaperone that day. Starting April 13 (the Monday after Spring break) you can sign up in the office if you would like to chaperone. I need 6 chaperones, but I am happy to have anyone come who would like to. The zoo is free for students, but adults have to pay $12.00. This is still a lot cheaper than if you go by yourself. In order to come and the reduced price you must pay in the office of our school. This year we have room for 2 chaperones on the bus, the rest will need to drive or carpool. Also, when you are making your decision, please remember that in order to ensure the safety of our kindergarteners, we ask that no siblings or other small children come with chaperones. If you have questions about this policy, come talk to me, I would be happy to explain our decision.  We will take lunch to the zoo, an email came home today about lunch. Please check your email fill out the form about lunch by tomorrow.

     In April we will also be writing books about our lives and having an Author Party where you can come and celebrate our books. The Author Party is scheduled for May 1 at 2:00.

   If you have any questions, you can send a note in your child’s folder, or call me at school.  Email is a great way to reach me too.  My email address is angela.eckhardt@nebo.edu
