The kids are loving the snow!  I wanted to give everyone a reminder about clothing.  I like Ms. Joy’s thoughts, “There is no bad weather, only bad clothing.”  We are outside most mornings for a short time and then again at recess.  It is really important for your child to have a warm coat, gloves, hat, boots and most students really need snow pants.  They can’t help themselves and gravitate to rolling around and getting good and covered.  We are having some real issues with students not having inside shoes.  We try our best to help the children keep track of things and to stay on top of the lost and found.  It is so important that your child have inside slippers.  We cannot have stocking feet and it is becoming a big issue this week with having large wet boots on our work area.  We also have P.E. on Wednesday’s.  We are in the gym, but your child needs to bring their running shoes, again slippers don’t work nor wet slippery boots.  Thank you for your help.

While we do go out most days, if we have a bad air day the children have to stay inside for recess.  We have some items for this purpose, but If you have any old games, building sets, etc. that you may be parting with this time of year, we would be happy to put them to good use.
