I wish mine had gone out!

Which school?

OP here, they played outside again today. And other schools didn't even open!

I'm glad my kid's school was open and there was outdoor recess.

Huh. Maybe that's how DD lost her 3rd pair of gloves yesterday. I should ask her if she went outside.

Christ, at our school they barely go out when it's 30, let alone yesterday. I HATE how much they're inside.

Yes, K class went outside for about 15 minutes.

I'd be thrilled if my kid got more outdoors time. Some parents have complained about going outside at 35 degrees. Maybe they grew up somewhere warm? At our school when it's very cold they keep the outside post of recess shorter than usual. I imagine everyone will be inside today.

You should let the school know if you don't want her to go out. Some kids have borrowed gloves or hats from the lost and found box before.

Our PS class went on a previously scheduled field trip which involved walking several blocks to Metro. Kids, unlike some DCUMs, do not suffer from an irrational fear of a little cold weather. I'm pretty sure that your kids would have been out playing in the snow if school had been cancelled.

I really wish my kid had been able to go outside yesterday.

Me too. I guess our kids are at the same school.

My son had a little outdoor time yesterday. That's ok with me.

Apparently some kids (those with appropriate outdoor clothing) had outdoor recess yesterday at my kids school. Is this the only school to do this?
