As much as we don't want to admit it, summer is nearing its end and that means school's around the corner. Here's a typical list for Kindergarteners:
1. A lightweight backpack. Try to stay away from rolling backpacks.
2. A healthy snack packed a reusable containers instead of disposable packaging and reduce waste.
3. An art smock for use in the classroom as well as during art class. (An oversized t-shirt works best because it can be slipped on easily. Try to stay away from smocks with buttons and ties, as they can be challenging to get on and off. Please label your child's smock on the front with his or her full name.)
4. A 2-pocket folder. Please label the right side "Homework" and the left side "Take Home". Try to use a sturdy folder such as a heavy cardboard folder.
