Winter is here. Whether we like it or not!

We will be going outside for recess unless it is below 20* or rainy/too wet. Please be sure to dress your child for outside play! Winter coats, hats, gloves/mittens, scarves and boots will keep them toasty warm.

Here are some things to know:

1. Bring school shoes! Boots are wonderful for outside play but can be uncomfortable all day. Please send school shoes for your child to change into. They are welcome to leave the shoes here. We have a designated spot for each child to keep their boots/shoes when they are not wearing them.
2. Please practice dressing and undressing with the winter gear. We spend a lot of time zipping, tying and helping with coats and boots. Please work on independently getting ready for outside. The less time we spend getting ready, the more time we have to play.
3. A lot of kids have already lost a hat or gloves. I ask that they practice putting their hats, gloves/mittens and scarves in the sleeve of their coat when they take it off. That way everything is together. Also, Dollar tree has hats and gloves for, you guessed it, a dollar. They are GREAT for Kinders who lose everything. We try to keep track of it all but accidents happen. The lost and found is currently on the table outside of the office. It is overflowing. Check it out f you are missing something.

Thanks and stay warm!
