Cold Weather

Although it's been a little up and down, the cold weather has arrived! Many kids are coming to school with the proper attire and some are not.  Unless the temperature is significantly below zero and we are directed to keep the children inside, we will continue to spend our outdoor learning times outside! We like to spend at least half an hour outside every morning and we also go out for half an hour at lunch. That being said, please ensure you dress your child appropriately for the weather that day! We've already had lots of children taking time off because they are sick and we are seeing lots of runny noses and hearing some pretty bad coughs!  

Let’s make sure we are all warm as we confront these cold winter months.

Here is a list of the important pieces of clothing that should be worn during these cold winter months: 

ü  a warm, heavy coat

ü  waterproof and weatherproof boots (boots that can stand up to the -20 degree temperature)

ü  warm, waterproof gloves

ü  snow pants

ü  hat

ü  scarf   or neck warmer or balaclava

ü  layered sweaters

In your child’s bag, it would be beneficial for your child to have the following:

ü  an extra pair of warm socks and gloves

ü  an extra pair of pants in case the ones they are wearing get wet

If obtaining these items for the winter months is not possible for some, please email me to let me know.  We have a number of bins with the items above that can be distributed to those who need them.

Let’s do the best we can to keep warm and healthy over the winter

Thanks for your help!
