Expecting the Hogwarts letter any day now

[charliesmum]

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)

Nope, not broken leg--broken head. :P I still have a big scar on my head, but I've gotten pretty good at hiding it over the years.

What that teacher said stayed with me for a long time. It's a good reminder to me, now, as a supervisor of young adults, that casual comments I make could be things that will stick with them for the rest of their lives.
