Expecting the Hogwarts letter any day now

Charlie had his Middle School orientation this morning. I just called him to find out how it went, but he 'doesn't remember' what he did. It's not that he doesn't remember, really; he just has a hard time verbalizing things. I think he enjoyed it, though.

When I started this blog, in 2004, Charlie was 6 years old, going on 7. In just a few weeks he will be 11. And in Middle School.

He is still making up Doctor Who episode titles. The latest, which I thought was rather clever, is "The Accidental Wedding". In it the Doctor falls in love with a Cyberman 'accidently'.

So, question...

What do you remember best about 6th grade? I had an awesome teacher, and had my first sleep-over that year, and I invited the 'cool kids' and they came.

I also remember having to do an oral report I'd totally forgotten about, but fortunately I'd done the written report on the legends of the Pine Barrens, and all I had to do is re-tell the tales, and I remember the entire class hanging on my every word. It was great.

So...go...what's your best memories of the 6th grade (or whatever the UK equalivant is - 1st year, if I go by Harry Potter, I guess)

I remember having a decent teacher, Mister Welch, who was good at teaching English and telling stories.

The rest of it...I was still in elementary school, not middle school. I was just waiting till seventh grade (the first year of junior high) when I could get away from the bullies that had plagued my existence for the past six years.

I'm hoping you did get away from the bullies, but I'm going to guess you didn't. They are everywhere.

No, not for a long time. Not till college, in fact.
