this girl will be moving to the middle school in september. i have been so nervous about the whole idea of middle school and sending my precious little thang off to that strange land of older kids and lockers and probably drugs and alcohol around every corner. and bullies. and scary internet predators.
well, i went to the parent information night at the middle school tonite and guess what? my mind has been changed.
i came home practically skipping. aftie is going to l-o-v-e middle school. she's gonna love art club and orchestra and decorating her locker and chewing gum and switching classrooms and swimming during gym class. i could hardly keep my excitement in check as i was telling her about all the fun stuff they have going on.
i love how her eyes opened really wide when i mentioned art club!
as for finishing off 4th grade...she preparing her information for the living museum project that all the 4th graders participate in. she will be presenting herself as mary anning, a paleontologist (i think). she will dress as mary anning and then tell some important things about her. this presentation will be made during school for all the students as they come to library.
i feel so lucky to have our girls in such a great school.

I felt the same way. Sounds like a wonderful school, she will love it! So much to do. Our 12 year old will be in Middle School in the fall, which is 7th and 8th here, 5th and 6th is Intermediate, basically middle school for the younger kids. It's interesting how every state and districts do things so differently.
