There may be times throughout the winter when it is 0 degrees - this is our cut off for outdoor recess time. There may be times, however, that I take them outside for a few minutes to release energy and get our bodies moving. If you'd prefer your child not to go out when it is below 0, please let me know. The time we would be outside would be minimal.
Jackets, hats, and mittens are to be worn out for temps less than 32 degrees. When there is snow on the ground or the ground is very wet, snowpants or rainpants and boots are REQUIRED.
Students who are not wearing the proper protection will have the natural and safe
consequence of remaining inside in the Excel Classroom.
Please help to review this with your child and help them be prepared with the proper clothing each day. If there are pieces of clothing you need help with to equip your child, please let me know how I can be of help!
This week Kinders have been challenged to take on this huge task of being prepared for school each day and also to keep their belongings organized throughout the many transitions over the course of the school day. All children in our class need to remember separate indoor shoes (we often sit on the carpet and if you are wearing shoes from outside, our bottoms will be wet and cold...). Most days until spring we will now need to have on hand - hats, gloves, boots, jackets, snowpants, etc. Thanks for all your help teach encouraging your child to show independence and responsibility in the winter gear challenge!
