Here's a neat note that my son's teacher gave to all her 2nd grade class along with a plastic baggie of the items listed...thought I'd share since we all got a kick out of it.

Did you wonder? Did you ponder
What these contents had to do
With pencils, paer, spelling, math,
And being a student--just like you?

Here's why your back-to-school kit contained these items:

Rubber band: to remind you of hugging and those times when you want to give a hug or want to receive one

Tissue: to remind you to dry someone's tears (or perhaps your own, so you can see the tears of others).

Button: to remind you to "button your lips" to keep from saying mean things about others or talking when it's not appropriate.

Toothpick: to remind you to "pick out" the good qualities of everyone--including you.

Band-Aid: to remind you of healing hurt feelings, eithers yours or someone else's

Candy Kiss: to remind you that everyone needs a nice treat occasionally.

Gold Thread: to remind you that friendship is the golden thread that ties together the hearts of everyone.

Eraser: to remind you that everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and that's all right.

Lifesaver Candy: to remind you to think of me as YOUR "life-saver." Whenever you need to talk, feel free to come see me.

Mint: to remind you that you are worth a MINT to me!

Your teacher,
