A couple of weeks before the kids went back to school, my daughter and I started gathering the school supplies that they need. We do recycle things that they can still use like pens, pencil, coloring materials and more. School supplies are not cheap so as much as we can we can, we are reusing supplies that aren't used from the previous school year. I am just glad that both of my kids are okay that not all their supplies are newly. I mean, what's the point of buying new ones if the old ones are still okay to use right?
The school registration was on August 17 and 18, we chose to register on the second day. We brought all the supplies they need in their respective classrooms and paid the tuition. The tuition hiked up again this year, we paid $4,170 for both of them for the whole school year.
Their first day of school was August 19th and that is always the exciting part for them because they get to go to school without wearing their uniform. We bought them new outfits to wear for that specific day.
I can't believe my babies are now in 6th and 4th year! Where did the time go? I can still remember when I was nauseated sending my first born to kindergarten lol. Now, they are bigger and act like they know everything sometimes ha!
I am glad that their school uniforms still fits, at least I don't have to buy them new ones yet. Uniforms are expensive too but the good thing about wearing it is that, you only need few pairs of them unlike when you have to wear regular clothes, you have to buy a lot.
My husband wanted to go to work on that day but I asked him not to even though we need the moolah these days. I don't want him missing a lot of the kids school moments because they sure are growing up so fast and they won't be kids forever.
It's also nice that they still want their pictures taken in the classroom with their parents hahaha. I am glad they aren't that cool yet to be with their Mom and Dad.
Our 4th grader has a new teacher this year so he wasn't comfortable going in the first day but I am glad that their teacher is really nice. She made the kids feel at home in her classroom which is a big relief for me.
Our daughter is now in 6th grade and she is still the smallest among her class. Compared to her classmates, she is so tiny.
I was able to go to her classroom and snap some photos before we left the school. First day is always exciting for students as they get to see their friends after a long summer break. For some, it is a bit stressful because it's hard to go back to everyday routine of going to school as oppose to staying at home and relaxing. My son feel that way, she always dreaded going back to school for the first week but after that, his anxiety settles.
On the first week, a lot of teachers send out paper communication for parents but after that, they do communicate online. A lot of teachers nowadays are using an app to communicate with parents as well so it eliminates the bundle of papers to keep. There are however, important papers that needs to be kept so I am glad that I have a new office supplies to use from Shoplet.
I got a pack of this Supertab Section Folder which is perfect for my son's needs. This year, they are doing a a color coding technique for their notebooks and folders to easily identify their subjects and the things that need to be sent out home for signatures and the things that they need to keep in school. I love when a teacher is very organized because it makes it easier not only for the students but for parents as well.

The vertical expanding file is great for my office use because I get to organize all their schedules not only in school but for their extra curricular activities.
