CARROTS: 
A medium-size carrot has 25 calories, 6 grams of carbs, and 2 grams of fiber. The veggie is an excellent source of vitamin A, providing more than 200% of your daily requirement in just one carrot. Carrots are loaded with beta-carotene, a natural chemical that the body changes into vitamin A. The deeper orange the carrot, the more beta-carotene you’re getting.

We think of carrots as orange, but they can also be white, yellow, red, and purple.

EXPECTED RECESS WEATHER

It will feel cold outside because of the wind.  The snow tubes will not be out due to the ice on the sledding hill. It is not safe to play on it. :(
