Cold Weather

       Well, it is winter in Michigan.  We are looking at everything from rain to snow to below zero temperatures.  The students have inside recess when the “feels like” temperature on weather.com is 9 degrees or below.  If the “feels like” temperature is 10 degrees or above, the students go outside for recess.  Please, remember to bundle your children up.  The temperature is supposed to warm up next week and the playground may get very muddy.   Please, have your children wear their boots even if it is a little warmer.
