Back To School Success #8: Backpack Supplies

September 14, 2016 By Y3K

After completing a periodic backpack clean out, taking a supply inventory helps students stay organized as well. Make sure there are enough pencils in the bag so your student doesn’t have to waste class time and lose focus trying to borrow one from a friend. Also make sure there are enough pens, paper and markers/highlighters. If a calculator is needed for class, place it in a part of the backpack where your student will find it and turn it on to check the batteries.

Illness

Kids and adults can avoid getting sick by not putting ANYTHING into their mouths. Cold/flu germs can be found on items people commonly put into their mouths such as fingers, fingernails, pencils, erasers, pen caps, toys, and etc. Children get into the bad habit of putting things in their mouths at a young age and can follow them through adulthood. Teach your children willpower and persistence to defeat this habit.
