  • Thursday Check In

    February 13, 2025

    Dear E-2 Families,

    One more day until Valentine’s Day! How fortunate we are that it falls on a Friday;  doubly fortunate to have supportive and generous classroom parents who reach out and make events to remember possible for your children. Here’s the outline of what tomorrow afternoon should look like in E-2:

    I have ordered pink bags for students to carry their Valentines in and have provided printouts of cards students may color and gift to classmates if they forget their cards from home. Here are  few more details about tomorrow: 

    • Our class will “party” from 2:15-3:00 PM. Movie and passing out cards is scheduled for 1:45-2:15.
    • For cards: We have 27 students in our class.
      • Please have students sign their card, but not address it to anyone. It’s quicker!
    • Entertainment: “The Peanuts Movie” on Amazon Prime will be featured.
      • We may not finish it because the activity below will be interactive and hands on!
    • Dress: Friday is a spirit dress day, where students are asked to wear red and pink, hearts and whatever else spreads the Valentine’s vibe.  💕

    Students asked to see me open the birthday cards and presents they brought yesterday. I was over there crying, both at your generosity and at the sweet things your children wrote and made. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! 🙏🏼 And a special thanks to the Jain family, whose children ALL made me a card, even if they aren’t in my class, and who also came by Wednesday morning to decorate the classroom door. Who does that? Thank you so much for making the day special for the whole class. They loved it!

    Today’s Thursday envelopes were packed with goodies! Please check your children’s backpacks for a variety of information pertinent to Reed students. Unfortunately, some of you will get the envelopes tomorrow…our paper passer, who would have passed the envelopes out, was out of the room towards the end of the day and I forgot to pass them out myself. The envelopes will go home tomorrow, and if you have any questions or feel something got lost, please reach out.  

    Thank you for your time and attention! As always, please feel free to reach out any time with questions, suggestions, or concerns. 

    Warmly,
    Ms. Seyan

  • Crucial Valentine’s Info

    Hi E-2 Families,

    It’s an exciting week! To stay calm, watch this cool video we enjoyed after lunch today.

    I am sorry this message is getting to you so late in the week. I know that Valentine’s information is urgently needed. 

    Friday, February 14th in E-2

    • Our class will “party” from 2:15-3:00 PM.
    • For cards: We have 27 students in our class.
      • I am not including their names because it takes FOREVER to pass Valentines to specific students and the party becomes no fun for our participants.
      • Ergo, students only need to know one name: Their own. Please have students sign their card, but not address it to anyone.
      • I have printed out cards students can color, if you do not have time or don’t want to shop for these for any reason.
    • Bags for Valentines: I ordered pink bags from Amazon that should arrive tomorrow- 🤞🏽- they are easier to decorate than last year’s red. They are large enough to handle a class set of cards, as well.
      • If these do not arrive by tomorrow afternoon, I’ll pop over to Michael’s and buy some there. No big deal. ;o)  
    • Entertainment: “The Peanuts Movie” on Amazon Prime.
      • The 30 minute TV shows are on Apple TV+, and I do not have that. 90 minute movie it is! 
    • Families: Due to the wonderful culture at Reed, class parents have volunteered to come in and support the celebration! Thank you, families, for making the day special for your children! When you do so, ALL the children get to enjoy. 💕
    • Dress: Friday is a spirit dress day, where students are asked to wear red and pink, hearts and whatever else spreads the Valentine’s vibe. 

    I hope this is everything you were dying to know about this Friday, Valentine’s Day. If I have forgotten anything and/or you have suggestions for the event, please reach out!

    Warmly,
    Ms. Seyan
