The year is coming to an end, and that means the school season and back-to-school are not far off. We know that for many children, buying their school supplies list is an anticipated and exciting moment. That's why today at Panafargo, we're giving you a list of essentials when it comes to educational materials.
For primary school…
Primary school is when we start to experience everything about being in school, and therefore, everyone wants to arrive on their first day with the best educational materials. The following will be essential in your child's backpack:
- Box of crayons to let their imagination soar in their drawings and activities.
- Pencil for taking notes in class.
- Eraser because mistakes are common at this stage, and we learn from them.
- Glue, as activities with materials like glitter will be abundant, so products for crafts will be necessary.
- Pencil sharpener for all the crayons and pencils in the pencil case.
- Notebooks, preferably stitched, with double lines if still learning to write, ruled, and squared for math classes.
- Painting materials, if necessary.
For high school…
The transition from primary to secondary school always involves a series of changes, and that includes changes in the needs and priorities of educational materials and school products required on the school supplies list:
- Pens will be essential. With more maturity and freedom, note-taking becomes personalized.
- Correction fluid, because mistakes decrease but don't disappear.
- Geometry kits (compass, set squares, rulers, and protractor) will be essential for the new subjects that will come.
- Highlighters for important ideas.
- Calculator for more advanced mathematics.
- Dictionaries in English and Spanish.
- Folder for storing important documents or exams.
Some extras…
The items we will tell you about next are not strictly necessary on the school supplies list, however, they wouldn't hurt to complete the pencil cases of your children, nephews, or cousins:
- Scissors, for when it is necessary to cut out images or any material.
- Pads (iris, ruled, or squared), for quizzes or special activities.
- A planner or agenda for older students, so they can keep track of their homework or pending activities.
- Colored markers to boost creativity when writing titles, for example.
- Stapler for documents.
