DS (4th grade) list was the longest, but I did get it at the end of the school year. There were a few specific items for certain teachers that we didn't find out about until last week though.I was able to get most of the things on a decent sale though. I always overbuy during the summer sales and keep a "supply box" so when they need paper, pencils, crayons, etc they can just go to the box and get what they need. The one thing on the supply list that I am not sure I agree with was Clorox Wipes. Don't get me wrong, I think Clorox wipes are great and use them in my home. But why are we responsible for buying cleaning supplies for the classroom. If the desks were cleaned on a regular basis, I don't really think it would be necessary for every student to bring a box of wipes. I bought them though, but thought it was a little weird. Did anyone else have this on their lists? Just curious. By the way, I am a teacher, and I have the world's best custodian who does clean our room. My aide and I also clean off the tables on a regular basis. Just don't think the students should be responsible for bringing in the wipes, that's all. Okay, now that I have protected myself with armor you can let me have it!
