Weather and recess
This past week we had some pretty cold weather prompting us to have indoor recess, the earliest in the school year that I can remember.
When do we go out and when do we stay in?
We're hearty here in Wisconsin and try to go outside for recess whenever we can. Of course if it's raining or excessively cold, we'll stay in. As a rule of thumb, if the temperature is below 0 degrees (with or without the windchill), we stay inside. We make an exception if there is a long run of very cold temperatures and go out for shortened recesses, alway mindful of safety.
So, please send your child with proper outerwear (warm coat, snow pants, boots, hat and mittens) every day. Please label your child's clothing as it is very easy to get things mixed up. And please help your child learn how to get all of their gear on. If you do not have winter clothing, and need assistance, let us know.
