You're Home! ยป Back-To-School Supply List For First Graders (Is It Really That Time Again???)

July 30, 2012

Back-To-School Supply List For First Graders (Is It Really That Time Again???)

Please Share!

My boy started kindergarten last year and boy was that hard for us both! I missed him so much and that first day, heck that first month, was horrible!!! I cried almost everyday I brought him, because when I came home, he was not here and his little toys were ๐Ÿ™ I just plain missed my boy..

So, me and my little girl got into a routine together and my thoughts slowly shifted away from my little boy being gone all day to me and my daughter playing and having fun AND looking forward to picking brother up from school! The time could not come quick enough for us all, as my daughter ADORES her older brother!!!! They are best friends ๐Ÿ™‚

Now, preparing my son for kindergarten was super hard. Heck, I had no clue what I was doing and did not know exactly what he needed. Thank God the school provided me a list of all the kindergarten essentials that my son needed for his school year. So, we went and purchased everything, top-notch stuff of course, LOL and labeled EVERYTHING.

On his first day of school the whole family went, (me, hubby and sissy) to see brother off. Man that was HARD, I will not lie… sigh.. But we got through it and eventually got through that whole dang school year! Yay! Now, this Fall, I face my son going into FIRST GRADE. Umm, how on EARTH does this happen?! Now I am in tears because he is growing up too fast! I want to hold onto his youth and innocence forever!!! But KNOW I have to let him be his own little person too. I just wish there was an even middle, ya know?

So this year, I was sent a list too, of what my boy will need for first grade. The list, believe it or not, is SHORTER than it was for kindergarten, go figure!!

Here is what they say he will need for First Grade:

1 Spiral notebook

Crayola Crayons, 1 box of 24 or more

Scissors (child size by Fiskar works well)

1 School Box (to hold supplies)

Pencils #2 – (6 pencils)

Erasers
NO PENCIL SHARPENERS ( I can see why, LOL)

Disclosure:

I was sent product for this post, all opinions and story above, my very own.

    send hand sanitizer as an extra – imho. Plus a package of tissues for the desk. I used to work in a chemistry lab and we called elementary schools “petri dishes” – lol.

    That list doesn’t sound bad at all.I am surprise they didn’t add a box of tissues to the list.
    Be prepared they may add more later.Time just goes by way too fast.Treasure these moments.

    I have not received any of my five children’s list yet(what are they waiting for?) but i remember last year the list for my fourth grader was a little extreme his teacher requested 3 flash drives! Needless to say I didn’t buy any and found out from my son that they never even used those last year.

    I can’t imagine how hard it is to watch your kids leave on the first day of school (or all of the days after). That’s one of the reasons why we homeschool.

    Just went to Target this morning to stock up on school supplies for my kids.

    It is always hard to see that baby go on a path that you are not there to be with him. You have the rest of your life doing the same… school, college, marriage… but he will always be your little boy. I know, I have 2 that call me to ask me questions about their children.

    My little ones and I will be going on a trip to purchase some of these things since school is starting soon!!

    As a grownup (64) the years go by quickly, but it’s my friend’s little ones that really show how fast time goes.

    I remember when mine were that young! They’re grown up now with families of their own but I help my grandkids shop for school supplies now.

    My guy is too little for this yet but I’m really looking forward to the back to school ritual! I can just smell the freshly sharpened pencils now!

    Our school supply lists are much longer and this year, all three of my babies will be gone for the entire day, since my son was accepted into a full day Pre-K program. Eeeek! That means I’ll be alone for around 6hrs a day!

    I dread buying supplies, we buy tons of it!

    My 2 oldest (and have 2 at home) are in 4th and 3rd and I still want to cry that first month of school because I miss having them at home LOL. My kids are starting a new school this year and the supply list is insanely long and detailed!

    I have one going into 1st grade too. It’s my “baby” too – which is sooo much harder. This will be my LAST 1st day of 1st grade ๐Ÿ™

    That’s great that his school gets it down to a reasonable list – some of the places around here seem to require a traveling craft room! ๐Ÿ™‚ I’m sure you got great deals on everything!

    Wow that’s all he needs?? My dd is starting pre-k and it’s a LONG list that they need including a ream of copy paper! I can’t believe she is starting pre-k! My mom will be taking her and picking her up so I’m gonna miss her first day. ๐Ÿ™ Just wait until he is graduating from high school! BTDT with my ds a year ago and it is bittersweet!

    Oh mama I feel you. I am already in tears about my oldest (still my baby) going into middle school in September!!! How in the heck??? And my youngest (also my baby) is going to all day kingergarten *wah*. They grow way to fast. I always listen to “Your Gonna Miss This” by Trace Adkins and just weep!

    Waiting for our list to go shopping. Just picked up some basics, but each teacher seems to have special items that they require.

    Kids grow up so fast. That list of school supplies look familiar ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks for the info about the AT&T Back to School Sweeps! Good luck!
