What everyone else has said . If you're used to using a school list, check one out online then go through your house to see what you already have - we have enough pencils to last our guy through college - many from my husband's childhood because, well, packratting is a thing (might not be a word, but it's definitely a thing ). We have tons of rulers & we counted protractors one year - at least 5 - that was before our son was even born! So, chances are, you have some things already & you'll need to supplement.

We stockpile all year long so I think I have most of my supplies.

I'm going to finish up our art curriculum from last year so the one thing I want to buy (using $$ I would have used for the next book/lesson plan) is a large easel - perhaps something like this one. So other than a few books/curriculum add-ons I'll be buying later in the year, we're pretty set.

As I'm reading through, maybe I need to add composition books because my guy keeps taking them & using them in play.

It might not be popular here, because it's not crunchy at all, but the Dollar Tree is your friend! We get most of our supplies there. They have these magnetic hooks & magnetic clips that really stick well - I use them on the fridge & on the side of my supply carts. Also, the Target $ spot is great.
