With the unusually frigid temperatures outside the BIG question is always to play outside or not to play outside! This is an old school vs. new school argument. Do we stay inside, stay warm with indoor "action activities" or go outside and catch "our death"! I say FRESH air rules. The plan as of now is to go outside in 30 min. intervals. Around 11:00 the sun is out bright in the play ground. Also again after nap time so we wake our bodies up properly with fresh air and exercise. I want to make sure that the children are getting at least an hour of outdoor time(preferably more) a day. In super freezing temps. we will do what I call the Winter Parade! We wrap up warm and sing and parade around the yard for at least 15 min. I think we will have happier , healthier children in the long run.
