1st grade school supplies list
1. Box of 8 crayons only
We request only 8 crayons, as many directions are color coded, and it makes it less confusing for your child to follow the directions.
Apparently it is just presumed that when you enter the 1st grade, you are an idiot. But then again, I'm still confused by the difference between brown and burnt sienna. Can I blame my parents for sending me to school with more than 8 crayons in the first grade?
11. Container of Clorox Disinfecting Wipes
They're getting Lysol. I got a good deal and they're just going to have to live with it.
Tomorrow's assignment for mommy...find a blue pencil box. You know I'm going to encounter every color BUT blue, right?
Now...do you really think I need to put my child's name on each item as the supply list indicates? I really don't see myself trying to write his name on scissors...or a glue stick. But I will reluctantly break out the Sharpie if the consensus says that I must.
(By the way...keep your stories coming in the comments. I love knowing that I am not alone in my misery and they're really good for a laugh or two.)

You thought they were teaching the kids who was boss didn't you??? NOW who do you think they're breaking in and power playing?? LOL, I wonder if it ever ends!! Good luck with the green, I mean blue pencil box ;)
I'd label stuff like folders and notebooks, but I don't label the glue sticks, since they're communal. It's easier sometimes to just print up a bunch of address labels or 5160s and stick them on.
Can't believe they're in first grade already!
i'm in the same place with labeling everything. i really don't want to. i'm also confused by how big a pencil box to buy. (i'm over thinking things, maybe?) but reese's pencil box doesn't hold much so maybe we should have shopped around.
Then they were supposed to have 12 No. 2 pencils...I didn't put his name on those. If he loses one, two or eleven, I think I can find some replacements; or wait for the Holidays where kids are giving out pencils instead of candy.
