It is that time of year again! Time to get the kids ready to go back to school. My daughter is going into the fourth grade this year. For the first time, we grabbed one of those "what you need" sheets to try to get as prepared as possible. The list was a bit crazy though. She needed eight lined notebooks. EIGHT. And ten pocket folders. I'm not sure why she would need to many notebooks and folders. Math. Science. Social Studies. English/Spelling. She might need a notebook for her reading assignments...book reports or whatever.

We cheated a little and got her a binder for the folders. She could probably put the notebooks in there too. I guess we'll see how it goes next week.
