It's Getting Cold!

Snow is forecasted for Thursday and Friday - winter weather is on its way! Students love to play in the snow, so warm clothing is essential. We only stay inside if it is raining or the temperature or wind chill is in the single digits. Morning recess can be especially cold before the sun has had a chance to warm us up. Each student should have a coat that closes, a hat or hood, and mittens or gloves. Children should have boots when it snows. Snowpants make recess and lunchtime a lot warmer and more fun. (I tell students not to sit or lay in the snow if they don't have snowpants.) Consider asking for a pair for the holidays if you don't have them already. Feel free to send an extra pair of socks for your student to keep in his or her cubby in case a dry pair is needed.

Keep practicing tying shoes and boots, and zipping, buttoning, or snapping coats. I also recommend putting your name on everything you can! (I'm always amazed when the Lost and Found has ONE boot.)
