Pajama Day ?

the kids I nanny for had pj day today. they love pajama days. they wear pajama's to school and usually get to bring a pillow and or blanket to lay on the floor and read in the afternoon (its usually a treat for having accomplished something. snacks should be something healthy, fruit, crackers, juice etc.

My son's kindergarten class was supposed to have pj day on Friday and watch Polar Express and have cocoa. Same thing as some others: no slippers, if girls wear nightgowns they need to wear leggings or pants underneath. This is after the class parties that were supposed to happen tomorrow but (warning:RANT) because of some selfish asshats that make and spread rumors and threats of violence, every school in my county and the county west of me is closed for the next two days. I'm so ANGRY and DISGUSTED!!!

Sorry to hijack your question - just had to get it out and didn't want to post a question. :(

Every school is different, so call yours and ask!
Ours wear PJ's all day but no slippers, they must wear real shoes.
Our snack policy is pretty liberal, meaning that unless the teacher has specified allergies in her classroom parents bring pretty much whatever they want for snack.

Yep they wear fun looking pjs all day. If the pjs are thin, put a pair of shorts under or on top and make sure to layer underneath as the previous mama suggests.

Snacks? carrot sticks. They will have enough sugary stuff. And this way the teachers can also snack.

My daughter has PJ day this friday. They wear them all day. I'm going to put her in an undershirt and put some thermal bottoms on under her pj's because they aren't going to be warm enough on their own. PJ's were made to be worn under covers so they aren't really made to keep out the cold winter wind. They are still going to be allowed to run around outside during recess and it'll be cold.

Her teacher didn't ask us to bring snacks but if I had to think up something I'd probably buy a jug of apple juice and a large package of breakfast bearclaws at Costco. (Or you could just bring a trail mix [raisins and peanuts mixed together to keep it simple] as long as no one is allergic to peanuts.) Popcorn is usually a big hit as well.

For comfort sake, no footies pajamas, as they are not comfy with shoes all day(I learned that the hard way).

With the weather being what it is here in IN, I also put my son in thermals under his pajamas, and thick boot socks.

If the school is a "Healthy choices" participant, and a peanut-free zone:

Dried Cranberries
Goldfish crackers
Pretzels
Veggie Straws
Apple Chips

If not a Peanut-free zone, Granola Bars and natural trail mix(dried fruit and nuts version)

Caprisun/Caprisun Roaring Waters
Hugs Low Sugar
Sunny D/Tampico

Hope they have fun!

Yes, they were "appropriate" PJ's.... meaning, if they normally sleep in just their underwear, DO NOT send them in just their undies! Give them a set of actual pajama's to wear, if they don't have sweatpants and a loose Tshirt or something else that would work as a substitute.

It isn't an actual "holiday", but just a fun day for the kids since it is the last day before the break and usually they aren't doing much actual work, just parties and movies, games, crafts, etc.

My kids always liked PJ day. :) They can wear their bathrobe for a coat if they want to also.

For juice, I would sent caprisun or something like that.... or just the mini (8 oz) water bottles. It doesn't HAVE to be juice. Water is fine, and probably preferred by a lot of parents and teachers as well.
Snacks? Most schools require them to be prepackaged in some way these days (i.e., store bought), but if it is a private school they may have different standards. A bag of chips or pretzels, washed seedless grapes, crackers and cheese, popcorn.... things like that would be great, in my opinion. I'm sure there will be plenty of cupcakes and cookies already.

My 3rd grader had pajama day today! The kids just love it. Like others have suggested, just take a look at what your child plans to wear, and help him/her if need be. For example, if your daughter wants to wear a nightgown you might want her to put a pair of shorts or leggings on underneath! Today my daughter wore her flannel pj bottoms with a tank top (she always sleeps in a tank top!) but then put a light sweatshirt on top (it was 45 degrees today!) As far as snacks, I've never been too strict with food, so I think anything goes. But there are more health conscious people out there than me, so maybe something like goldfish crackers and juice boxes. You'll kids will have a great day!

My son is having a PJ day today too!

Yes, a normal set of loose PJ's. He'll wear them all day. He should still wear his tennis shoes. At his school, they can usually bring a snack, drink, and pillow.

At my son's school, they'll be reading the book "The Polar Express" and then watching the movie.

Enjoy!

Snacks: fruit roll ups, grapes, goldfish crackers, animal crackers, go-gurts (yogurt in a tube), etc.

kids (boys) usually wear pajama pants (flannel pants) and a t-shirt

Yep, they wear pajamas all day. My 5 year old thinks it's fun. Sometimes it's a fundraiser thing (bring a dollar to wear them), sometimes it's just a fun thing they do near the holidays.

For the snack question, call the school - they probably have a list of snack suggestions to make life easier for parents.

Yes, they wear their PJ's and kicks (tennis shoes) all day at school. They usually do this when they have a movie day and a party day.

Snacks are easy..whatever your kids like, popcorn, pretzels, fruit snacks...just whatever they like w/out nuts.

~My 7y/o HATES PJ day...he believes PJ's are only for sleeping and feels awkward wearing them out of the house. Ha!!! We *compromise* and I send him in sweats!

Yep, Pajama Day is the day they usually watch a movie and relax..

Snacks.

Fresh fruit
Veggies
Cheese
