The LKG Books have arrived!

The books for all classes are generally given out during the last week of April.

The kids are all waiting to take a peek into their brand new books for the coming year.

The tamil books are the stateboard books and you can download them from the below link

SBOA uses a variety of publishers from Macmillan to Cordova for different subjects and all the books will be provided by the school.

For us parents it's a mad rush to finish brown papering the notebooks and binding the textbooks!

"Mummy, not the orange paper take the light brown ones, I like them better" with suggestions that sound more like ultimatums, I'm dreaming of the day that they will cover their own books!

But according to my wiser father, I might as well give up as he reminds me that he covered my books all through my school years!

Happy space creating for the new set of books!

To Market, To Market to buy a Great Bag

Whoever thought Bag shopping would become such a big event! I just discovered that my 3 year old has preferences in the style of bag she wants to take to school ! all this without any peer influence as of yet! God help me when that happens too! Jan sport was my choice of bag, but the cost factor made me look at other options too, as you might have already guessed, nothing matched up! Then Lo and Behold, we did find the perfect first school bag at Reebok, Besant Nagar , at a cool price of Rs.360 ( MRP Rs.599 with a 40% discount) a Red and Black one that fit her like magic! Harry potter isn't the only one who is school supplies shopping with wonder in his eyes! With that put behind us, now it's on to Lunch box, water bottle , lunch bag, pencil box, hair accessories, etc, etc. If any of you had luck with these, let me know......
