March 10, 2009 - Sandstorm engulfing Riyahd, Saudi Arabia
The largest sandstorm in decades hit Saudi Arabia and Kuwait this past Wednesday. We caught the tail end of it Wednesday afternoon. Our storm wasn't nearly this dramatic - but still brought wide spread dust and haze (everyone was coughing!). My Girl Scout Council was scheduled for a 2 night campout - Thursday and Friday nights. Weather reports were conflicting - the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority was calling for another sandstorm "late Thursday." My troop decided to cancel our Thursday night campout, but go out on Friday (weather permitting). It was still a bit dusty and hazy on Thursday, but no new storm, so we went to the Royal Family's farm on Friday morning. Had great weather! I will post pictures of the campout tomorrow.
Math update - after reviewing the situation the school administration decided that the Honors Algebra 2 students (Grant) will have after school math sessions and will retake the semester exam at the end of March. I'm really glad - all the kids were demoralized after that exam, best to tutor and retest.
Hope you are having a great weekend!
