I questioned the school about it and they said the extras were for the class in general, and for any kids who didn't bring in supplies. We (the parents) were also informed that this was the *starting* list - that we'd be "required" to provide supplies all year long. And we lived in a well funded district!Firefly momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09742562729182149224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192904.post-45311868612938688532008-07-17T23:00:00.000-05:002008-07-17T23:00:00.000-05:00I know and my Daughter thought this summer would never end lol!<BR/><BR/>Hey Tish I just enable my SezWho last night, that thing is so cool!<BR/><BR/>I just rated every post on your main page 6 stars!

I agree that they should both be in every classroom (those kids are a germy bunch!) but I don't think the children should be responsible for their own. The sanitizers are either alcohol based and toxic or non alcohol based but will cause chemical irritation if used on the face. And clorox? Speaks for itself...<BR/>Maybe there's a leap in maturity from preschool to kindergarten that makes this safe? For all kids? I doubt it.Grandmother Wrenhttp://grandmotherwren.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192904.post-23468805626902475872008-07-17T18:37:00.000-05:002008-07-17T18:37:00.000-05:00Clorox Cleaning Wipes? Kids have to bring these to school now, too?

Left over snacks also came home in them. <BR/>And the one Red folder. The teachers here also request one folder in a color as well. I noticed it's for a subject at school...something along that line that way the kids know what that folder is for. It might also be the folder that is used to bring home the papers to you! <BR/>The lists get odder with each grade level!momto4kidsnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16459663422636334355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192904.post-50490619961455148712008-07-17T15:44:00.000-05:002008-07-17T15:44:00.000-05:00Awwwwww, Kindergarten is the best grade.

Yep me, so I am here to pester you. I will look for that glue think I saw it here. I swear these lists get longer and stranger every year. As a homeschooler, other than some highschool textbooks, the only other supplies I need are notebooks, we finally ran out. Oh, and the fee for driving school for that 16yo son I now have. <BR/>PS - email me with the theme for the nursery please.<BR/>Love ya, hope you are doing a-ok!Sassy Mama Bearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11518964123008830311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192904.post-72440843344928868272008-07-17T11:58:00.000-05:002008-07-17T11:58:00.000-05:00Oy, when they specify the brands and counts I'm done. The only time I tried to buy school supplies for my son I obsessed about whether he'd be vilified or expelled if I bought some other brand. Fortunately our school offers packaged school supplies for all grades. The slightly higher expense is more than made up for by the convenience.feefifotohttp://blog.feefifoto.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192904.post-47456097206925134982008-07-17T11:45:00.000-05:002008-07-17T11:45:00.000-05:00Not playing this week, but wanted to comment. I so remember these lists. Then my son would add stuff he wanted to the list. It was so expensive back then. School supplies, clothes...Oh I remember. Have a great day sweetie.

It's too bad that schools have to ask for all this stuff, but some places just can't operate without it. Do you have to provide a ream of computer/copier paper, too? My kids did.<BR/><BR/>And, I'll bet the red folder is for "important papers".<BR/><BR/>Happy TT and good luck with finding everything!Denise Patrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18134480528920517406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192904.post-42798455373072609122008-07-17T10:31:00.000-05:002008-07-17T10:31:00.000-05:00Wow that is quite a list, what does the school supply?Arlenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17729514646957786224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192904.post-70163965451537297972008-07-17T10:28:00.000-05:002008-07-17T10:28:00.000-05:00Holy cow!

I have a shelf in the closet for school supplies. Prices as Walmart and Target are really good right after school starts. Then you have a kid like mine (going into 8th grade) who loves, loves, loves school supplies. Always wants more pens or pencils and folders... Apparently you can't have too many folders.Susiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14933135282125862246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192904.post-91224001904742313852008-07-17T09:45:00.000-05:002008-07-17T09:45:00.000-05:00It's crazy to me that the parents have to buy all of these things now.

This is what was inside:<BR/><BR/>1. Pencils<BR/>2. Construction Paper<BR/>3. Crayola Crayons--32<BR/>4. Elmer's glue<BR/>5. Blunt Scissors<BR/>6. Erasers<BR/>7. Curly Protractor<BR/>8. Colored Pencils<BR/>9. Pencil Sharpener<BR/>10. Loose leaf Notebook paper<BR/>11. Notepads--usually colored, about 3x4<BR/>12. 3x5 Cards<BR/>13. Wacky Stickers--it was the 70s...the kinds that glowed in the dark or had bright 70s style neon colors.<BR/><BR/>Also, I've responded to your comment on my blog regarding the SezWho EntreCard partnership.
