Back to school can be an exciting time, but for some it’s extremely stressful for children who are attending a new school. I always like to make the first week of school activities FUN and entertaining, but educational, too. 

First, you will want to check out our 50+ Back to School dollar items! There are some things you might not have thought of purchasing at your local dollar store.

Amazing items, huh?

Second, you will want to find out how you can save big on back to School supplies. Don’t break the bank of back to school supplies. 

I decided to compile a big list of first day of school ideas because there are so many creative ideas out there on Pinterest and around the web.

I’m a former homeschool mom who currently is a public school teacher who loves to get my students and my own children excited about the first day of school. It’s a crazy, but busy week. The key is to be prepared a couple weeks in advance to make the first day of school a success.
