Preparing for School

School Uniforms
         White button down shirts, one that fits, one to grow into, $20

         Clip-on tie, and spare $10
         School shoes, nice black shoes with no laces!
         Gym shoes (Nike soccer shoes on sale! $15)
        New backpack- Clone Wars, to bring a smile!

        Green Blazer 1900rubles- $60, ordered too late for 1st September start date,
        Dry-cleaning of old blazer to use until Sept 15th -290rubles- $10
        Wool-blend black pants - 900r $30
         Hemming of new pants - 280r $10

School supplies
       School textbooks and work books- purchased through the school  1400r ($45)
       2 exercise books with graph paper, 2 with diagonal lines. $2
       4 colors of pens, pencils, colored pencils, pencil sharpener, eraser, ruler ?
       many many many more clear plastic book covers (bought a few at a time)
       2 more sets of colored pencils, because we had no orange pencils in our collection.
       preschool supplies-- a list hotly contested by the parents, totaling about $100.


Remodeling of Tima's classroom 1400r ($45) on accounting sheet. Another 1600 ($55) requested... perhaps due to some parents lack of agreement to pay.

Flowers for teacher (required by custom!) $20 for each child.

Thanks for the update! I love seeing pictures; it seems the first day of school is really a cultural difference. So much for handing them their lunch box as they get on the bus!
