Celebrate Winter with Ms. Janilla! Our focus is digging, creating, building, and playing. Roll snowballs and make snow-people when there is sticky snow. Dig holes and build forts. Collect icicles and freeze your own ice balloon. Blow ice bubbles if it gets cold enough! Create mines and cut bricks from snowbanks using SnowSaws: https://snowsaw.ca/

We will make and eat snow cream at least once – when there is fresh snow. Other snow-snacks possible, please provide dietary restrictions. Please bring your own snack to have at the start of the meeting.

Please be prepared to spend most/all of the meeting outside. PLEASE DRESS IN LAYERS AND BRING DRY (warm) GEAR – especially if your student tends to get wet at recess – consider packing extra gloves, socks, snow pants, etc. If we borrow warm clothes from the office, we will miss out on meeting time!
