I told them that it it\u00a0their responsibility<\/strong> to put their shoes in the backpack\u00a0at night.\u00a0 (Parents often get blamed for “not putting my shoes in my backpack.”) They will take off their wet boots in the hall and change into their shoes.\u00a0 If they wear wet shoes into the room, they track in wet snow on their shoes, and then sit in the wetness on the carpet.\u00a0 Wet shoes on 24 kids creates a very wet carpet on which to sit!\u00a0 YUK!\u00a0 Even if there is only a little bit of snow on the pavement, students are to still wear their boots into school<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Several mentioned today that they did not have boots that fit.\u00a0 I told them that they could go out this weekend and get a pair…perfect time.\u00a0 It’s also a perfect time to practice tying shoes!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Enjoy the snow and all of the wonder it brings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mrs. Smith<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Surprise!!!!
