Winter Weather Gear

Winter Weather Gear

         Despite the frigid temperatures outdoors, we continue to stay warm and toasty in room 102.    

      We also wanted to send a reminder to all families regarding snow gear. Please pack students with the essentials for outdoor play. Students will be required to wear snow boots and snow pants for playing in potential snow. Please know that we do send students out a LOT. So if it is not below freezing with the windchill, it's likely we will be heading out even for 10 or 15 minutes.

       We also are hoping that you consider sending in a cloth bag (the ones that you get from the grocery store are THE BEST because they open wide) with all of your child's cold weather gear once snow season has begun. Please put their name on it somehow as well (masking tape or marker). Our spot in the hallway is particularly small and it is much easier for the kids to put their gear in one secure place. The bags have worked well in the past as they help prevent items from heading to the lost and found and make end of the day pack-up more efficient! 

      Even with the bags, sometimes winter things get lost in the shuffle, so please put names/initials on ALL winter gear anyway! 

      Another thing to mention is we do not require the kids to put their snow things on at the end of the day, as it cuts into our precious learning time. Of course, if it is snowing hard or new snow is on the sidewalks, we'll have them put them on, but it will be discretionary. Thanks for your help with this!

        One final note, we strongly suggest that the children dress in layers.  It surprisingly can be quite warm in our classroom, even on chilly days.  

Happy Snowflakes!

Love,

Mrs. Lazazzero
