1/15 Last day of Winter Eclipse

I video taped all the kids individually reading with the hope of teaching them to be more confident articulate readers.  However, I don't have enough battery power to capture their progress.  Regardless, I think it was good exercise.  They were able to see how they read, pronounce, articulate, etc.  Halfway through Class I, a gentleman from the village came into class and rounded up half the students - the villagers.  The tribals kids stayed behind.  Because it was going to be a solar eclipse, the Hindu students had to leave early to eat early as eating during the event is not allowed.  Even though it was not entirely visible in Jharkhand, the light was still that erie dusky color and the air felt heavy for at least an a hour after lunch.  The girls and I watered some of the trees and moved some earth, but could feel the cold coming.  By sundown, the cold was back and we fell asleep to distant drumming.
