Some dread it, some look forward to it, but it all comes around whether we like it or not!!
Living in Saskatoon, the stores EVERYWHERE seem to be insanely busy and packed full of parents lugging their children around to purchase new things for ........ SCHOOOOOOL..... yes, I said it, SCHOOL.
As a teacher, I feel the same anxiety and grievances over summer that almost every child feels at this time.
Now of course the question is... do we reeeeally need all the new "stuff" we buy before school to compensate for our "misery" of going back? Let's think about it this year as we enter fall and ask ourselves what necessities we NEED and what we can live without.
What are some other ways we can compensate for going back to school?
Are there some supplies left over from last year (mostly unlikely, lol) or some stuff around the house that you can take to school?
So much excess is bought and lost during September.... let's think about the ways we can find things around the house, use things differently, hold on to what we buy, and compensate our dread with something other than "things", like maybe having a summer-end party, spending extra time with family and friends, enjoying the little nice weather we are having, and living life in the moment! It's tough for some of us, but it's worth it... BELIEVE ME!!
School Shmool,
