Our daughter starts Kindergarten this Fall.
We had the orientation back in June and they sent us home with the “shopping list” of all the gear that she’ll need once the school year begins.
There is a lot of stuff that we need to get and we are supposed to put her name on everything.
When I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING!
Her shoes (indoor & outdoor), her rain clothes, her lunchbag (and all the containers inside), her gym strip and bag, her back pack, and all of her supplies (including each and every crayon, marker, and pencil crayon).
When I was in school, my name didn’t appear on anything. But if it was required, the good ol’ trusty black permanent marker was pulled out and my name was printed clearly in bold, black letters so everyone knew that it was mine. But even then, my identity could be erased with a single stroke from another black marker to make it belong to someone else.

My DD is pretty anxious, a big part of it is that she’s worried she’s going to miss me.

My daughter is excited to go back to school, but with the current strike here in BC we are not hyping the return up too much because we have no idea when she will be going back. Since she is only 7 she doesn’t really know when the official date of “back to school” is anyway, so once we know what it will be then we will start getting her prepared e.g. earlier bedtime!

School shopping is overwhelming enough, all those supplies and new clothes! Then to have to label EVERYTHING, who has the time (even though its so important)! We never labeled when I went to school, and how much did we lose LOL! I was going to pull out the old Sharpie but using labels is way more efficient! I had thought of it before but nixed the idea not knowing they were dishwasher/wash machine safe! Thanks for the info, time to start labeling!
