Back to school seems to have become somewhat of an occasion unto itself - what with shopping for supplies, clothes, extra curricular activities and gearing back up to live by a schedule once again.
We've got some great eco-friendly ideas for supplies - from PVC-free backpacks and recycled newspaper pencils to an extensive range of littlerless lunch gear - check out our 2011 eco collection for must-have back to school gear. We've also got money-saving back to school shopping tips and 10 classroom tips from a teacher - practical, invaluable advice from inside the classroom. Perhaps most importantly, we have some great suggestions from a leading psychotherapist 10 Ways to Build your Child's Self-Esteem for Success at School.
Whether you're doing the happy dance because 'normal' days are almost back within reach or whether you're a slightly apprehensive first timer, this is undoubtedly an exciting time for both you and your kids - we hope you enjoy it!
