Students love the natural beauty of the new park, and are finding creative ways to play without a playground. Last week, we saw a big bald eagle, great blue herons and salmon!
As the days get chillier, it’s a good idea to dress your child in an extra layer for warmth and add a spare pair of gloves, hand warmers and a small hand towel in the backpack to help keep little hands comfortable, especially when we wash in cold water. It’s important to go through your child’s backpack with them, so they know how to help themselves to the comfort items you send. Teach good etiquette with disposable hand warmers: don’t let them get wet (they stop working), keep in pockets or in gloves, and always put the packaging and cold pouches in the garbage.
