I love travelling. I love to visit other countries and see how other people live. I love the different weather, the different architecture, the different food, the different flora and fauna and... well just all the differences. I also love the sameness, how ultimately we are all just people with our strengths and our flaws. And one of the other things I love about travel is experiencing how little you really need in order to get by from day to day. Every time I travel I learn more about this. This time we are staying in a studio apartment. A small well equiped kitchen, a bathroom and a … [Read more...]

Calling all elementary (primary) school teachers
I received an email from an elementary school teacher, Rose Ann, a while back who needs help with keeping stuff under control in the classroom. Or maybe she even collects the stuff and keeps it around the house for when she needs it in class. She really didn't elaborate on that. But I digress. As I have little experience in classrooms these days I would like any elementary/primary school teachers, who might be reading, to share their experience on how they keep their school supplies under control.
