WHITTLE AT WORTHINGTON We are so proud of our students for completing their first week of Whittle! This week we focused on how to travel in relation to the equipment. Students learned movement concepts such as: traveling over, under, around, and through the equipment. We also discussed traveling verbs as well as muscle strength and endurance! The Whittle Unit allows students to explore and learn how to move and control their body with the equipment and challenges them to problem solve with their peers as they complete a variety of challenges. There is a lot of individual learning taking place with this unit and our students are also having a lot of fun! We are looking forward to next week to challenge our students even more! Ms. Closson & Ms. Smith
WINTER WEATHER – HCPSS PROCEDURES Please be advised of the HCPSS procedures for weather related closures, early dismissals and delayed openings. With our surprise Winter weather today, we wanted to make sure everyone is aware of the procedures followed and how to access information. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=4b75a3328d&jsver=M6f…view=pt&search=inbox&th=1605c6c77c6f60a5&siml=1605c6c77c6f60a5

The following is a link on the HCPSS website, which provides weather-related information: http://www.hcpss.org/schools/emergency-closings/ LEARN OF WEATHER DELAYS OR SCHOOL CLOSINGS Please take the time to read the following information from HCPSS concerning weather related school closings. When is the decision made? The decision to delay or close schools is made by 5 a.m. and a telephone tree is started to alert key school staff members and local media. By 5:30 a.m., a notice is posted on HCPSS News. School openings may be delayed one or two hours. On rare occasions when weather conditions worsen or do not improve after a delay has been announced, a second announcement may be made to close schools instead. Emergency & Weather-related School Closings: If it is necessary for the Superintendent to close or delay the start of schools due to inclement weather or other emergencies, parents may get information by visiting HCPSS News and subscribing to receive email and texts alerts. In addition, HCPSS uses the following sources: HCPSSTV: Comcast Channel 95 or Verizon Channel 42 HCPSS Information Hotline: 410-313-6666 TV/Radio: WBAL TV Ch. 11; WBAL Radio 1090 AM; WTOP Radio 103.5 FM When HCPSS schools open one or two hours late, there is no RECC. If schools are closed, or closed early due to weather conditions, all after-school and evening activities, both school and non-school, scheduled in school facilities are canceled.
Weather Guidelines for Outdoor Recess Exercise outdoors is healthy and is strongly encouraged. It provides a break from the regular school routine, a chance to get some outside air, and an opportunity to run off excess energy. If conditions preclude the full recess time, even a five-minute break can revitalize children and prepare them for more sitting and academic learning. Children are expected to wear warm clothing to protect them during cold weather when participating in recess or outside activities.
The decision to go out or stay in for recess is the decision of the Administrator at individual schools. However, the following are to be considered in determining if recess https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=4b75a3328d&jsver=M6f…view=pt&search=inbox&th=1605c6c77c6f60a5&siml=1605c6c77c6f60a5

is to be held outside: Temperature and wind chill Age of students Length of time outdoors Adequacy of the children’s clothing Condition of the playground Falling precipitation (more than a sprinkle or mist) Generally, it is assumed that students will be outside for recess when the temperature combined with the wind chill is not less than 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Children with certain health conditions may need special accommodations during extremely cold weather. Parents of those children should provide medical documentation and may be consulted to determine if other arrangements are necessary.

Grandparents and extended family members can have fun getting involved as well. Ask them to help out your kids by cutting them out and giving them to your child at Thanksgiving, or the next time you see them. We will have multiple collection dates throughout the school year. Please be on the lookout and send in the Box Tops with your child. Your PTA Box Top Coordinator, Erika Holderness, will package them up and send them along to earn money for WOES. This year’s goal is $1,000. Please help us attain this goal!
