The weather turned bitterly cold today. After a rather balmy Thursday, Friday blew in this morning with frigid winds and arctic temperatures. At school, we all rushed along when we had to move from building to building, and at recess the students huddled together like farm animals trying to stay warm. Luckily, I had my small white space heater cheerfully humming all day, which made my classroom a fairly pleasant place for our serious reading and writing.
