Building Bridges - Sandstorm

One Hour Later

Grant got off to a good start on his Eagle Project last weekend! These pictures are a good contrast - above the boys are taking a break from building the bridges. They are sitting in our compound, in our carport. About an hour later a "shamal" (sandstorm) blew in - you can really see the dust in the air.

Update on Math - met with Principal who told me they had never planned to do anything with the Honors Math Students (showed him e-mail from school director - with subject line of "Honors Math" stating action would be taken). I don't think they had looked at the Honors Exams - promised me they will do so and get back to me early next week. (I will be monitoring situation).

Lovely weather today - we have a compound BBQ to farewell one of the families. Next weekend is our Girl Scout campout. The girls are going to work on the Cook Outdoors badge so we will be teaching them to cook on a propane stove and in a Dutch Oven. I have the Dutch Oven duties and we'll be making desserts for every meal (apple crisp, peach cobbler, gingerbread and cinnamon rolls). Sounds yummy!
