I taught first grade for 9 1/2 years and this was my back-to-school list.
I now have a child entering school and her list is...something else! Mine might have been worse though, so I apologize to anyone who might be reading this that was ever in my class. I'm pretty sure that noone reading my blog was ever in my class, but I still feel the need to apologize.
I can give you rationale for all of it, but that doesn't make it easier to swallow when you're the one buying it all!!!
Geez...
Wow! That's quite a list. James' first grade list is so short I think it might be a mistake...only 4 things.
ReplyDeletewow! four things, I'm shocked. Morgan's list has about 10-12 items on it. Then there's a bunch of optional stuff!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind the school supplies but I dislike feeling like I am providing all sanitary products for them, like tissues, wipes, sanitizer, etc. The list does grow every year, but then they hit junior high and it gets shorter again. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't remember ever having a school list...
