In a news item that will amuse no one with snow, ice, or cold temps awaiting them this morning (or really anyone who has to leave the house wearing a coat), it was too cold in Hawaii on Tuesday for preschoolers to go outside for recess. The high in Honolulu that day was 71 degrees. An evening newscaster said about the weather Monday evening, it was “…kinda like a socks night.” And yes, that’s a direct quote from the 5 PM news.
You’ll see in Robbie’s report card that when marking his daily activities, he went on auto-pilot and started to circle recess, but the teacher stopped him, had him cross it out, and she penciled in, “Too cold!” My guess is that the kids were simply not dressed for high-60s, low 70s temps and didn’t have jackets. But the kids did give it their best. They ran outside and quickly ran back inside complaining of “the chill” and the teachers turned to rarely-used Plan B – Inside Recess!

When he didn't have recess to choose from as his favorite activity, our little guy opted to select his nap.
