Mom Daily
Filling our kids' backpacks
My son starts kindergarten in less than two weeks.
I won't even get into how fast the time has gone, how I can't believe he'll be in school, real school, not just preschool or daycare.
Instead, I'm trying to focus on looking ahead and being excited about all the amazing things he's yet to experience.
This weekend, I plan to take him to buy school supplies. The school provided a list. He is to bring:
- 4 boxes of crayons
- 1 pack of Crayola markers
- 2 boxes of tissues
- 6 white glue sticks
- 1 plastic school box, no handle
- 12 #2 pencils, sharpened
- 1 bottle of Elmer's glue
- 1 pair of headphones
- 1 large backpack » more
