Summer is winding down, and back to school time is just around the corner! I can’t believe it’s that time of year again already! When I was growing up, back-to-school shopping was one of my favorite things in the world, and I loved buying new school supplies and clothing. Actually, I still really love back-to-school shopping, and I definitely still have a notebook obsession!
When you get ready to head back to school, your child’s teacher will provide you with a list of supplies that are needed for the students in their classroom, but there are a few basic must-have essentials that EVERY student needs at back to school time!
No matter if your child is headed to kindergarten or off to college, these basic essentials are necessary for all levels!
Back to School Essentials
1. Backpack- a sturdy backpack is an absolute must-have the third grade or even the college freshman. Choose a backpack with padded straps and wide base for comfortably holding textbooks and binders.
2. Pens and pencils- in my opinion you can never have enough pens or pencils! Younger students may need washable markers or crayons and older students may need highlighters or erasable pens. Now, my favorite pens are the cheap Bic pens that you can get at Walmart for $1. I have used these pens since high school and love them.
3. Water bottle- it is important to stay hydrated throughout the day. Stainless water bottles are a great choice for anyone.
4. Notebooks and planners- Notebooks are required for most grade levels, and planners are a necessity to help older students to keep track of homework assignments, study sessions, and due dates.
5. Lunchboxes- today’s lunch boxes come in all different shapes and sizes to suit your student’s needs. Choose one with adequate insulation to last until lunchtime and be sure to check out our favorite super easy bento lunch box ideas.
Happy back to school season!
