Often, getting ready for school frightens parents for the most part, since they are the ones who should prepare the student and school bag for the new school year. The main thing is to choose the right things and items for school, so that it is not difficult for the child to carry a briefcase, and it does not harm his health. We will discuss below how to properly assemble a backpack for school.
How to properly pack a backpack for school
To fit all the necessary items into your backpack, you need to prepare everything in advance. Most often, in elementary grades, a list of supplies is issued before the school year. If you haven't received it, don't panic. Compose it yourself. Group purchased items and accessories. Divide all items into groups: books, notebooks, office supplies, folders, etc.
Remember! You can group things not only by purpose, but also by color, size or individual items.
For each subject, you need to allocate 2-3 notebooks and one folder. Small accessories should be packaged in covers, containers or pencil cases. This will make it easier to keep your school bag organized.
When getting ready for school, the first thing you need to do is put your textbooks down. This will be the heaviest and most voluminous item. Therefore, it will take up most of the space in your backpack. We put the books in the large compartment of the bag. It is desirable that they be closer to the back. There is no need to carry all the textbooks with you. Choose only those that are needed for items on a certain day.
Paper and notebooks should be placed in folders. This way they won’t get wrinkled and will be easy to find in your backpack. Also, take one empty folder on the first day of school. It may be required for a schedule or other papers that will be issued on the first week of school.
On a note! To make a specific folder easier to find, label it.
Place folders with notebooks, albums and notebooks in front of textbooks in a large compartment. If the bag has several large compartments, then textbooks and notebooks can be divided into sections.
We put pencil cases, containers and covers in small compartments. They should be located separately from the main compartment. Art supplies should be kept separate from pens and pencils.
If your child takes electronic devices to school, they will need to have a separate place in their bag. Some products have special compartments for electronics. You can put your tablet or phone there. You can also often find backpacks with compartments for a laptop; they are usually located near the back.
