Ahh winter!! In anticipation of cold later in the week and because the whole class was having such a great time in the new snow we had a longer than usual recess today. The snow added a new dimension to the play ground and the children all played really nicely together driving trucks in the snow, going on the slide, keeping the base of the slide soft with fresh snow- there were many examples of cooperation and team work. We are definitely still working out a system for getting on the new layers that come with snow and keeping track of all of these things when we're not wearing them. I am confident that with a bit of practice we will become more efficient and get better at making sure we only grab our own gear at the end of the day! We have lots of black snow pants in the class and we had to take a few minutes to work out a three way mix up before boarding the bus. Fortunately everyone's clothing seems to be labeled-this helps tremendously.
