Winter Weather and Winter Gear

Winter Gear and Recess:

Well, we survived our first day in kindergarten with winter gear!

Here are some follow-up items that are important as the winter season goes on...and on..and on. ;)

*We go outside every day unless it is below zero. So from now on your child will need boots, snow pants, a hat, and mittens. They are welcome to leave an extra set of any snow gear here at school.

*PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE being independent when taking off and putting on snow gear.

*It works best if your child has a bag to keep the snowpants in, so that library books and papers do not get wet.

* LABEL EVERYTHING!

*Your child will also need shoes to put on after changing out of boots.

* Keep practicing zipping those coats up! The other tricky thing for kids is that second mitten/glove. So any practice putting the second one on after the first is already on will be super helpful.

They did a great job today for a first run so thank you for helping with this at home ahead of time.
