Now, while supplies are aplenty, is the time to make a back to school shopping list. The
following must-have supplies will help guarantee that their school experience is a
productive and successful one.

2. Basic Back to School Supplies
No matter the age of your student, there are a few items that should be in everyone’s
backpack come the first day of school. You’ll want these items on your list:
•Glue stick: Things come undone, and glue sticks allow you to adhere them once again.
•No. 2 pencils: Standardized bubble tests still call for good old traditional pencils. And
math problems are usually done with pencil.
•Pencil sharpener: Sharpening pencils is a must, so include on your list a portable
sharpener with a shaving’s collector.
•Large pink eraser: Those big erasers erase just about any wayward scribble.

3. •Highlighters: Get various colors so your student can do some color coding.
•Ruler: Choose one that contains English and metric measurements.
•Tape: Paperwork rips and tears and needs taping—sometimes urlat a moment’s notice.

•Backpack: Most students require somewhere to stash all of their back to school
supplies.

organizing paperwork.
