Getting a first-grader ready for school with Kite
Do you remember that sweet feeling when there were only a few days left until autumn, and new notebooks, pens, pencils, and colorful erasers were already neatly stacked in the dresser? Something similar to the situation with sweets on December 31st: they are already prepared, but you can't taste them yet - "that's for New Year's." It's the same story with new stationery: you open the drawer, look at it, stroke the perfectly smooth covers, inhale the scent of fresh offset printing, and close it, knowing that you can't write in them yet - that's for September 1st.
School supplies for first grade: what to buy
August is about apples with golden honey, cool starry nights, and exciting preparations for school. Soon, future first-graders will discover the era of knowledge and communication. Exciting acquaintances, interesting discoveries, and a new social role - a first-grader. School is a fascinating journey to the heights of personal excellence. And what's the most pleasant thing before any journey? The thrilling anticipation of new experiences and the leisurely packing of suitcases. Ready? Let's pack the backpack!
What a first-grader needs
1. Kite school backpack
All models for first-graders are orthopedic and feature the unique Ergo Kids system. Kite Education backpacks boast official approval from the German Institute of Health and Ergonomics IGR, as well as the domestic Institute of Orthopedics and Traumatology of the NAMS of Ukraine. And indeed, these backpacks are worth praising. Soft breathable back pads that adapt to the anatomical curves of the spine, S-shaped wide straps of the correct shape, a chest strap, and other "goodies" for the child's comfort.
2. Pencil case
For elementary school, a real treasure is a book-style pencil case. It is designed specifically for younger students. The variety of designs is dazzling, and the convenient internal organizer brings joy. Everything you need is always at hand, and in perfect order: each item is secured with an elastic band.
3. Notebooks
First-graders are just learning to write, so not many notebooks will be needed – from 5 to 10 in a grid and slanted line. The main thing is that the paper is white and the cover appeals to the child. Look at the licensed series of Kite notebooks with cartoon characters (My Little Pony, Transformers, etc.), and funny animals (Studio Pets, Rachael Hale). The young student will be delighted!
4. Kite Stationery
From folders for notebooks to sharpeners: Kite will get your child 100% ready for school! Pens, erasers, graphite pencils – the assortment has everything for successful learning.
5. For arts and crafts
In younger grades, most lessons are built on creativity. Be prepared that a first-grader's workspace is a kind of branch of an art studio. Write it down so you don't forget anything, because a lot will be needed:
- folder for crafts;
- colored pencils;
- colored paper and cardboard;
- scissors;
- glue stick;
- watercolor paints and a palette for mixing colors;
- several paintbrushes (pony or squirrel hair);
- non-spill cup;
- set of markers (basic colors);
- wax modeling clay;
- plastic modeling board and a set of sculpting tools.
6. Organizing school life
- Workspace setup. The better the space is organized, the easier it is to learn effectively and maintain order. Pen and pencil holders should be in sufficient quantity so that items can be freely distributed in them.
- A desk mat will protect the surface of the desk or school desk from dirt and damage. Kite has many options with cool designs.
- An apron with armlets will eliminate the need to wash clothes after every art and crafts lesson;
- We've taken care of classes, but what about breaks? A thermos, lunchbox, and water bottle are the basic set for a school "pit stop."
- I feel like something was forgotten. Right! Physical education and dance classes. You wouldn't carry ballet shoes and sneakers in a bag from the nearest supermarket. A Kite shoe bag is convenient, beautiful, and durable. Plus, you can choose one to match your backpack and create a cool, coordinated set.
7. To school – with favorite characters!
To engage a child in learning and reduce stress from adapting to a new environment will help (who would have thought) – favorite cartoon characters! All Kite stationery can be collected in a design featuring a beloved character. This means the first-grader is no longer alone in their new role. At school, they will be supported by familiar and childhood-favorite cartoon characters!
