News from the Jacobs family in Saudi Arabia
Last Wednesday was the Kindergarten Science fair at Kai’s school. I like the way it was set up–a selection of experiment stations that contained explorations the children had completed. They got to lead their parents through demonstrations of the types of explorations and observations they had been making in science. There was no competition, no tri-fold boards and no stunning displays of how gifted the parents were at completing science projects for their children!
A few weeks ago we had some rain (very late in the season for that) so we headed out to the wadis in the desert at the edge of camp. The rain runoff had exposed some new rocks and we found some really interesting ones. It was hot but still bearable. At this point just a few weeks later we are already climbing well into the 100’s every day so our desert trips are probably done for the season.
Hot day, squirt guns and a hose.
Kai and Nora each got a little saddle time at a recent hobby farm event to raise funds for an animal protection charity.
