The Best Back to School Gear

Going back to school can be a little intimidating, but while you can’t hold your kid’s hand as they try to find their classes, you can get them prepared with the right gear for the year. Here are a few items that can help keep you organized, energized, ready to tackle the start of the new school year.

1. Start the morning off right with a sunrise alarm clock. If mornings are difficult for your child, the right alarm clock can make things a little easier. This alarm clock uses a warm LED light that gradually brightens 30 minutes before the alarm time to gently wake you up. It also features a sleep timer with sunset simulation to gently dim the room and can act as a night light.

2. Get your routine going with chore charts. For children who have difficult staying on task in the morning, a schedule board or chore chart is a great idea. They can cross off items as they go and avoid taking up valuable minutes wondering what they may have forgotten. You could try these morning and nighttime schedule boards, or go with these simple chore charts with tickers for a more customizable option.

3. Keep things organized with a great planner. Having a place to record assignments is essential for every student, and since personal devices like tablets and phones are not always allowed in class, nothing beats a real notebook. Collections make incredible planners for students of all ages. They have planners for elementary school, middle school, high school, and college.

4. Level up with a digital planner. While a notebook planner may be best for school, there are many benefits to having access to assignments and planning digitally. This incredible digital planner makes schoolwork organization available at the tip of your fingers on any device. It comes with easy-to-read instructions and hyperlinks to help you quickly find what you are looking for. What’s your must-have back to school gear?
