Slippers!

Hi all! Wanted to let you know that we are going to try having a slipper policy in our classroom for this year. I wrote a proposal saying that while in our class we would wear slippers or indoor shoes and then change into outdoor shoes when we go out to recess. The proposal passed unanimously. I think this will be beneficial for two reasons. 1). It will keep our room much, much cleaner. 2). I think it will help the kids transition from recess and other activities into learning. Like putting on your thinking shoes.

I'm hoping we can all have slippers by the end of this week and I'm encouraging the kids to bring in ones they are excited about. Of course, they don't have to be slippers. Crocs, a different pair of shoes, whatever will work just fine. They don't need to be new either. I would encourage not bringing in just socks as the occasional tack or staple can end up on the ground by accident. If you have any questions, please let me know. Beth has implemented this in her classroom already and has said its worked great. Thanks!
