School start: great ideas for first graders

First grade equipment: beautiful and practical

The school also has a tighter schedule in family life. So that the school starts successfully, we show nice things for first graders, which bring order, but also fun to everyday student life. Whether ruler, bookmark or lunch box – many of these useful things for first graders are also great as content for the school bag! We have even more ideas on what goes into the school bag here!

Get school supplies? Everything you need to start school

schoolbag, School cone, ink pen, folder, schoolbooks – Everything that comes to our minds immediately when we think about school is often not even necessary to start school. First of all, the class teacher decides whether first-graders need exercise books, who sends a list to future first-graders at the beginning of the holiday, which contains everything that should be there at the beginning of school. At most elementary schools, a fountain pen is only introduced in the third class, and leaflets often provide the school (from the class money that most teachers collect at the beginning of the school year).

So for us: Shop reluctantly and get what is on the list.

Prepare to start school – so everyone will be happy!

The start of school is an emotionally pumped affair – for children and parents. So that no tears flow on the day of schooling – stress and excessive demands meet high expectations – we can prepare our first graders for what they can expect in the future. With books, CDs and school visits. The way to school also wants to be familiar, although at first it is only accompanied. Also put on the list: Get to know the schoolyard. In the afternoons during the summer holidays (because of the holiday care, the schools have opened their gates), you can calmly go past and see where the horizontal bar is.
