Remember, NO SCHOOL on Friday, December 23rd!
Greetings all! I can't believe that tomorrow is our last day of school in 2022! Tomorrow morning, starting at 8:30 is the Winter Sing. To minimize the spread of germs, students will stay in their classrooms to watch the different grades sing together. I believe Mr. T is recording it for families as well! Students will be meeting with their K Buddies tomorrow for a winter craft that Ms. Adams and I are SUPER excited about! Look forward to those coming home tomorrow afternoon! If students have winter gear that lives at school, this might be a good time for them to bring it home so it can get washed, so students may need an extra bag to bring items home in. I also make students bring home all water bottles for a winter wash! I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday season and I will see your students on January 3rd, 2023! Sincerely, Mrs. Petzold Reagan P.S. Mr. Reagan and I got our wedding photos back last night, so I included one in case you were curious!

Important Dates:
Greetings families! I hope that you have had an excellent week so far! Tonight is International Night! From 6:00-8:00pm at Orchard, students and their families are going to be sharing information and food from different countries around the world! All students and families are welcome to attend! You might even see me there! Tomorrow is an Early Release Day, dismissal starts at 12:30. Also, please keep an eye on the weather. Who knows, we may have a snow day tomorrow if the weather forecast is accurate. Please be safe if you are commuting tomorrow! Students have earned a classroom celebration! We will be celebrating on Monday with a Stuffy Day! Students are welcome to bring a stuffy to school that is the size of their desk or smaller. If students don't have a stuffy, they are welcome to bring a pillow or blanket to snuggle up with during our silent reading time! I hope that you all have a great evening (and a potential early start to the weekend, fingers crossed!) Sincerely, Mrs. Petzold Reagan Important Date:
Friday, Dec. 16th is an Early Release Day! Greetings families! I hope you are having an excellent week! I don't have a lot of news this week, but last Friday we had time with our Book Buddies and did a Winter-themed Bingo activity where students walked around with their buddies to learn more about each other. It was a really fun activity for all! In math, we are about to start our next unit which is all about FRACTIONS. Students will learn how to add and subtract fractions and then we will move on to multiplying fractions. We are also about to start a new Swap Block, where students will be returning to me for another science unit. That's all this week, short and sweet! Have a great afternoon! Sincerely, Mrs. Petzold Reagan Greetings families!
I hope that you all had a fantastic Fall Break! Today, we had our December Farm-to-School Lesson, where students made their own tea blends using things like lemon balm, chamomile, and peppermint. (Don't worry, there isn't any caffeine in the ingredients we put in!) They learned about the different benefits that each herb gave to the body and students came up with some really clever names for their tea blends! To use their tea bags, add to a mug, then pour boiling water over the tea and let steep for about 5 minutes. We also learned about the idea of hygge, which is the idea of prioritizing coziness and comfort in order to increase one's happiness. Hopefully, the tea blends help create hygge at home as it gets colder! In Number Corner we just finished working on identifying coordinates on a grid. Please ask your student about it! We are also starting Number Corner class rotations, so students are working with different teachers on our Number Corner concepts. That's all for this week, have a great afternoon! Sincerely, Mrs. Petzold Reagan |
