Welcome to the Back to School Blast!
Getting your family prepared to head back to school, can be difficult especially after a long, fun-filled summer. Here are a few of our favorite Back to School Tips to help you along the way.
1. Back-to-School Supplies Checklist - Backpack? Check. Pencils? Check. Safety scissors? Not Yet. Use the same checklist each time you head out to grab supplies, to keep track of what you have already purchased and the things you still need to. These are also handy if you have more than one child. Simply print 2, 3, 4 list and add their name to the top.
2. Get prepared by having your child go to sleep early, and start doing there normal school routine. So when school does start, your child is ready to go!
3. Set up a study station for your child. Having a quiet space, can help your child focus more, and get work done peacefully. If you let them help design there little study station, it can also be very exciting!
4. Get a planner. This will help you, and your child. You can keep important dates, and schedule important events.
5. Start looking for healthy breakfast recipes. A good breakfast has a huge impact on your child's performance during the day, and it can also be exciting for your child, to see some delicious new recipes!
- Also, when I was in school, one of our favorite things to do, was to shop after school started, and get our supplies for next year too. If you get there right after, you get even better deals!

ReplyDeleteMy best tip is to evaluate what you already have and then make a shopping list
ReplyDeletegive the kids some school work to be ready for the up coming year, and be there to help them with there ?'s they have about there next grade level.
ReplyDeleteThe best place to go is Walmart. They usually have a list of supplies needed for the local schools. Great prices too.
ReplyDeleteFor our family we start going to sleep two weeks before school starts earlier so waking up on school morning isn't so difficult.
ReplyDeleteOnly buy what is on your child's school/teacher's list. Getting extras just because they look cool will add up fast.
ReplyDeletebuy better shoes that will last.
ReplyDeleteTry to make as many friends as you can on the first day. :)
ReplyDeleteIf this will be a new school, be sure and check on needs - medical, supplies, and dress code requirements.

Check to see if your state has a back-to-school sales tax holiday. Then combine sales and coupons with the tax savings to cut costs.
ReplyDeleteI buy for the school on the internet, buy many things and pay less.
ReplyDeletebuy the supplies a year in advance right after the start of the new school year, as they often go on sale then
ReplyDeleteGet in a sleep routine so that when they go back to school they are fully refreshed. If they are tired they will struggle (crochet addictuk)
