Couldn't they just say, hey, we need $$$ from each family and let us do it that way? school supplies - my wife made 4 runs to the store because BOTH our daughter's teachers changed their list from the list on the school's website...yeah!

I was like you when L was in pre-school. It was as if people were speaking King James English all the time ... I understood just enough to be completely off balance. No worries though, you'll get there. Try Staples for some people figurines and other school supplies. They have a teachers section. The other suggestion of a teachers supply store was also very good, but they can be difficult to find. I completely and totally empathize!! I was like you when L was in pre-school.

We haven't hit preschool yet, but I'm sure I will be just as off-track when it comes. Hopefully practice makes perfect?
