Christopher needs to pick up a school choice form at school so we can get in his request to stay at Harris next year for seventh grade. It's a bit aggravating that the form isn't online.
The form is due by March 31 so we have plenty of time, I just want us to be at the head of the line. Harris isn't capped so it should not be a problem.

Obert Skye came to visit our school today. In first period, we went to hear him. He was interesting.

Michael Phelps and Debate
Last night, as we watched A-Rod claim naivety and stupidity for steroid use (how about greed, maybe?), Christopher said "I know all about that."
Apparently, in debate, the for and against topic was if Michael Phelps should go to jail for smoking pot. Alright, welcome to middle school.
Christopher said he was for Michael Phelps going to jail because he was just a guy like everyone else. He also said he won't do drugs because you get addicted and then your whole life changes. Sweet. Good answer.

Art Class by Chris
I like art. We did this painting with latex paints. Mrs. Fox had this big pump thing where we could pick the colors.
My colors didn't match exactly, but Mrs. Fox said she liked the difference.

Prepping for Seventh Grade
We've only started the second semester of sixth grade and preparations have already started for next year. Could this stuff go by any faster?
Today, Christopher brought home his choice sheet for seventh grade. He'll have eight classes next year (as he does this year).
He will continue with Art as his main elective. Instead of PE, he'll take Athletics. He told me he'll ask his coach about it tomorrow, but he thinks he'll make the list for seventh grade athletics.
He'll take English, Science, History and Reading. We'll sign him up for Pre-AP Math.
And, for his AIM class -- it is used as a study hall for some kids who need extra help or as a UIL Academic class for GT kids. He can choose from a handful of classes -- this year was debate. Next year will be . .oh, I'm so excited about this . . .
Journalism! I beamed when he told me. Then, he said for me not to get too excited. "It's just the best thing for boys of the choices. Everything else is for girls." Well, OK. Whatever. He is going to take journalism. I'm so happy!
