It's really cold again

It is only Jan. 23, but this winter is proving to be very challenging.  It's tough to send the kids to the bus when it is still -2 without the windchill at 8:45.   It was -31 with the windchill.  The high today is 4.   It is supposed to warm up into the 20s tomorrow, but with that comes another few inches of snow.  And shoveling, the never ending chore.

The kids and teachers are going crazy because it isn't even warm enough to go out for recess.  I used to think the district mandated 'go outside if it is 5 above with the windchill' sounded harsh.  Now it sounds balmy.

Midwestern winter typically lasts until the end of March.  April has usually turned a corner.  Everyone is already so fed up with this harsh, cold, snowy winter, that the next 10 weeks will be a struggle.

First Day 4th Grade!

Orinda Country Cotillion

The Orinda Country  Cotillion  is a forty year community tradition sponsoring a series of seven evening dance classes and welcomes all seventh graders in Orinda.  The boys are girls are both broken into two sections, so every other dance is with the opposite boy group. Two of the dances are themed (a sock hop and country -western) and the rest are semi-formal.  Last night was the first dance in the seven dance series.  Kate and her friend Zoe had a great time.  They learned the fox trot and a line dance.  Seemed like fun!
