My little one is finally starting school, and I’m sad that he is leaving the coop. I really had no idea where to start as far as necessities for school supplies. Thank you for your advice. It was really helpful.

As a teacher of students who will be coming into my classroom soon what I would like them to have just one thing. It is not all the stuff that their parent/guardian will buy them but a parent/guardian that will support and help them, really help them be successful. A parent that will be there for them and support them in all ways they can. That’s all. Oh yeah and 100 pencils. Students never have enough pencils and they ALWAYS steal mine.
Support and pencils thats it !
