Breezing Through Back To School Blog Hop

Has anyone else been making trips to Target bi-weekly (maybe tri....)?!?!?  I want to share my kindergarten back to school supply list!  I know all school districts are different.  Some pay for all the supplies, some parents pay for the supplies and some teachers pay for all of the supplies!  I have some ideas of what are the "must haves" for kindergarten.

If you are looking for a minimal supply list... Here is what I would suggest that is MANDATORY to have in the classroom:

Mandatory Class Supplies:

Large pencils

crayons

glue

scissors

Some schools, you can't ask for parent donations or a supply list.  That leaves some of us purchasing the supplies!  When that has been the case for me, these are the items that I start out with, and then purchase more once I get to know my group of kids and what they might need. :)

If you are at a school in which your parents are given a supply list, and they bring in truck loads of supplies the first day of school (I am not kidding) then this is a more "generous" list of items that I would "wish" to have.

I categorized my supplies, so is the first set:

 Drawing Supplies:

12 colored pencils

24 regular crayons

16 large crayons (to have them use the first couple months of school)

10 thin markers

10 thick/large markers

Writing Supplies:

large pencils (for the beginning of the year)

regular pencils

erasers

highlighters

Art Supplies:

glue sticks (the MORE THE MERRIER) 

pencil box (just a rectangle box like the one below)

glue bottle

scissors

paint set

Extra Supplies:

index cards

post it notes

folders (homework and desk)

Expo markers

Sharpies

ruler

Ziplock bags

More ideas that aren't included in the pictures that I either end up needing or purchase myself:

paper plates

hand sanitizer

napkins

I hope this list helps if you are new to kinder or needing some new ideas!!
