Every year, we receive a packet from the school, giving a suggested supply list for each grade level. I don't remember going shopping for all these things when I was young. "Back-to-school shopping" was simply for clothes and shoes. Maybe there's a conspiracy between the retail stores and the education department! Or maybe it's just a a sign of the times. (I mean, these poor teachers don't even have a budget for a box of tissues!) But, whatever it is, it certainly is exciting for the kids! So, off to Target, we went...
Here's the suggested list for 3rd grade:
- box of 10 washable markers
- box of colored pencils
- box of #2 pencils
- pack of 3 pink Pearl erasers
- box of 16 or 24 crayons
- pack of 3 glue sticks
- pack of 3 highlighters
- dry erase markers
- pencil sharpener w/shavings catcher
- pack of 3 x 5 cards
- usb drive
- small pencil/supply case
- pair of child scissors
- lined spiral notebook
- 2 reams of white copy paper
- wide-ruled notebook paper
- boxes of tissues
- hand sanitizer
- disinfectant wipes
- 2 boxes (Health Office and classroom)
- extra meters
- lancets
- test strips
- glucose tablets
- juice boxes
- extra carb-y snacks(cheese/peanut butter crackers, granola bars, etc.)
- extra site change supplies (quick-serter, reservoirs, infusion sets)
- insulin (kept in H. O. fridge)
- glucagon kits
- emergency directions/picture
- emergency syringes
- extra AAA batteries

I don't understand why Skittles and Juicy Juice aren't on the standard list??!? :)
ReplyDeleteWOW! Well that is one long standard list!!! But I hear ya... I have Tristan's standard school list and then I have his "important" checklist. However we still use a backpack that does from school to home and home to school. At the nurses' office we keep a scale, glucose tabs, juices and gummies. Everything else is in his "diabetes" backpack.
