Today's Fact Friday was inspired by all the TMS students who arrive at school not wearing coats and then complain that it's too cold to go outside for recess! Recess at 20 Below by Cindy Lou Allaud is a photo essay about the students in Ms. Allaud's class in Delta Junction, Alaska. They go outside for recess every day the temperature is above 20 below. They go outside at noon because the sun is only up for three hours during winters in Alaska! They dress in many layers and actually get hot because they are active outside. Dress for the weather TMS and get outside and active every day!
