Back Pack Essentials: Middle School Boys Edition

Wow, Summer is almost gone....My son has been staying with his dad for half the Summer in Colorado, meanwhile I have been picking up extra shifts saving for our last Summer trip. Michigan goes back later then most other US states {not complaining}, so now everyone is in full swing back to school buying. Wanted to share how my 12 year old backpacks packed for the new school year and some essentials that he loves and uses daily in his school.   Wanted to share our backpack this year, it was time to get rid of the kiddy elementary backpack from last year {solar system backpack} and get him one that was a little more grown up. I say this through tears. So I found this one here, combining his favorite brand + colors.  

find yours here

 

 

So I went off of what was primarily in his backpack for last year and went with it, this year he was required his first trapper keeper {I didn't even realize people still called it that}. They don't. It's called a zipper binder. Jeez I feel old. I found one on Amazon, they also carry them at Meijer's if you have one. The one I purchased was a 2" ring binder with a option too add books into a X slot on top. This will carry all his subjects, papers, pens etc.

 

 

 

 

 

So this is his new setup, below you will find more essentials that he loves and uses, my son is in 6th grade.

Back Pack Essentials: Middle School Boys Edition

back to school Kindergarten

 

Caleb has made it through one full week of school, he is staying home today as he woke up three times in the night getting little sleep and crying all this morning due to a sore throat and low grade fever. Im headed out here in a few to grab some mediation to ease hime, poor kiddo just starting school and got sick. Seems like everyone we know is sick right now, so its no wonder!

Kindergarten Wonder

by Wendy Silva

 

I wonder what you’re doing right now

and if everyone is treating you kind.

I hope there is a special person

a nice friend that you can find.

I wonder if the teacher knows just

how special you are to me.

And if the brightness of your

heart is something she can see.

I wonder if you are thinking about

me and if you need a hug.

I already miss the sound of your

voice and how you give my leg a tug.

I wonder if you could possibly understand

how hard it is for me to let you grow.

On this day know that my heart breaks

for this is the first step in letting my baby go.
