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!
