Layers

It got cold shwia. Not very cold, just a little, the kind that if you stay outside all day you start losing feeling in your fingers, or getting little chills, without really realizing that the temperature's dropped. The only thing is, the buildings here are cement, with no heat or insulation country-wide. Inside is actually a couple degrees COLDER than outside. I took my students outside yesterday for nature study because it was warmer there. (And we painted a cool tree, so that wasn't the ONLY reason.) In one class, we played a game that required the students to have ordinal numbers, so I declared that the number 1 person on each team would be the person wearing the most layers. The number 1 students were all wearing 4 layers. To school, in the middle of class, so this is not including winter coats and scarves for the most part. Mostly the students (and teachers) wear our winter coats through 2nd or 3rd period, then it warms up enough to drop down to 3 or 4 layers. Still, I can't believe this is winter! I may go to the mountains over Christmas just so I can see snow and be convinced.
