Winter Weather!

This week we spent sometime talking about dressing appropriately for the weather. We talked about how we should be wearing a winter coat,  a hat, and gloves or mittens everyday. We also discussed that if there is snow on the ground you must wear snow pants in order to play on the equipment or go in the wood chip area. This time of year can be tough to judge what recess will be like so it is best to have our things everyday just in case. Every year I also get many questions about whether or not snow pants have to be worn on the bus home. The rule in 1st grade is yes. If they they wear them to school they will be worn on the bus after school unless we have a note stating otherwise. If you do not want them to wear them home on the bus please send a bag each day for them to go home is as they do not fit well in backpacks and often get very wet. Please also be sure your child has gym shoes that stay at school each day. That way they won't have to miss out on fun and exercise in gym. Thanks so much for your help getting your child prepared for the winter weather and let me know if you have any questions!
