    In reply to @MrCsajko
  • HuffingtonStacy Dec 13 @ 8:18 PM EST
    A2- indoor recess lots of sitting instead of movement, Ss are then crazy, attendance, and with not much sun everyone is on edge 😫 #espechat
  • smsandino Dec 13 @ 8:18 PM EST
    A2 We only have so much inside space which means all four classes will have to fit inside the exercise room #espechat
  • LovePrimaryPE Dec 13 @ 8:18 PM EST
    We play snow dog sledding with scooters and pool noodles #espechat

    In reply to @MsTuckerRocksPE, @MrCsajko
  • LovePhyEd Dec 13 @ 8:23 PM EST
    A2 also have to change mindset of cold=sick or cold=inside. Preparation is the key #espechat
  • JoeyFeith Dec 13 @ 8:23 PM EST
    A2. For one, I'm under the constant threat of being buried in the snow by these hooligans. (This was today) #espechat

    A2 We manage since we don't really have winters so everyone has their own unit and there's really no conflict #espechat
