What a great day! We finally got to go outside for recess! The students did such a nice job playing in the snow that they got an extra 10 minutes of recess time. Next week, if there is still some snow, we will try to go sledding one day. If your child is not comfortable with this activity, they certainly don't have to participate. If they want to sled, they must have their boots, snow pants, gloves, and a hat. We have sleds here at Jackson, so no need to bring your own.
Spring conferences are right around the corner. I sent home a note today with the entry code so you can get online and sign up. This time, the conferences are student led. Your child will be doing most of the talking about their progress and goals they have for the rest of the year. I will be sending out a letter with more details about these conferences next week.
