6th Grade, so far...

Jamie had a rough start to 6th grade, her first year at Middle School.
It was tough to get on the bus 1 1/2 hours earlier than last year.
It was tough to write in a planner EVERY day.
It was tough to keep her papers organized in one big binder.
It was tough to carry a clarinet and gym clothes to school every other day.
It was tough to open her locker.
It was tough to only see some of her BFFs during lunch.
It was tough to go the same school as her older brother.
It was tough to have all male teachers.
It was tough to have lots of long-term assignments.
It was tough and resulted in a 20 minute meltdown after school for the first 8 days of school.



The important word above is WAS....Jamie is much more adjusted after 3 full weeks of school and back to being our fun, happy preteen girl. We love her and are so glad she has adjusted to her new school year! She is a joy and the whole family is much happier this week!
