What a fun, snowy week! The kids loved watching the snow fall on Tuesday, trying to catch snowflakes on their tongues! It was also exciting to put our first snowy day on the weather graph. We had predicted at the beginning of the month that we would get a snowy day in January! Remember to send both boots and snow pants on these snowy days. We will go outside in the snow as long as the temperature is above 25 degrees.
