Recycling of Old Wallets

As I love to travel, I occasionally read travel blogs. On Enjoy Living Abroad, I found a bunch of safety travel tips for the road. Among them (look for number 3) was the one about using a fake wallet.

If you are being held up by some thugs and they demand your wallet, hand over this old fake one, stuffed with expired credit cards and a low amount of cash.

With a bit of Fortuna on your side, they’ll be in a hurry to get away.

Resources for Grade 5 Parents

The other day I talked to a longtime friend in Texas, whose 6th grade daughter, showing signs of anxiety and missing school, gave us a common ground for a small discussion. Last fall, my own 6th grade daughter showed signs of anxiety by having an overall body itch just before her oral presentation was due. I took her to the doctor to be told there was nothing wrong with her. Reading some of these recommended books and websites (see below) might prepare us for those situations.

This list of suggested reading material, compiled by the 5th grade team of educators at Frankfurt International School,  had been given to us a while back, and I find it useful to be shared with other parents in similar situations.
