The weather is miserable. It has been overcast since dawn and even though it wasn’t misty, it was gloomy to begin with. At noon it started raining. And it’s still drizzling. Everything is wet and cold to the touch. The cold seems to seep in under the skin. Wonder how long this weather will continue.
A couple of years ago, we had similar weather that lasted almost a month! It does get a bit miserable around makar shankranti so we were expecting bad weather. But this came a bit sooner than expected. We can only hope it won’t last too long.
We had regular school today. Sim introduced Danielle and Katherine to the nursery class students and they really got into it as if they have been teaching for years. Sim was quite impressed. And so am I. I’m glad they are here to help us start off well.
Sim, however, left this afternoon. We are sad to see him go. He blended in very well and was a true asset while he was here. I enjoyed talking to him and it was a pleasure to see him fit in so well into the project’s routine. Seems he enjoyed the experience too. It’s a pity he had to leave.
The school children are as well behaved as ever. The nursery kids need a bit of disciplining. But they are new and are all very excited about coming to school. In a week’s time they’ll settle down. The other children are quite relieved that studies have started in earnest.
I let the Class 4 children play with the Intel laptops. He kept switching them off! I was not there to supervise them as I was busy with another class. But I thought it would be a good idea to let them familiarize themselves with the machine.
That's Simha McCarter-Ribakoff in the photo on a misty morning. The weather is quite similar right now.
