We're In!
We received the letter informing us Christopher will be at Harris next year for seventh grade. Thank you God!
He's thrilled. We're thrilled.
I e-mailed the principal to thank her for her encouragement. Now, to the woman at the desk accepting the forms . . .another story.

Oh, yeah, school
We are so busy with packing and planning for the move that we have kind of forgotten about school. I guess that is what you get with a child such as Christopher who is making good grades and doing well.
But a quick update:
Turned in the school choice form February 19. The receptionist defines our chances as "slim." Panic sets in so I e-mail the principal. Principal Clemons informs me there should be no problem -- she'll call the superintendent if need be! Love that go straight to the top approach.
Christopher moved out of debate into an AIM Reading course. Why, I ask the teacher via e-mail. He's a bubble student. What? He passed the fifth-grade Reading TAKS, was one point shy of commended and is currently making a 98 in reading. So again, why? He was disappointed initially that he was moved out of debate. Now, he said he's OK with it. Alright.
Social Studies and Science tests. Science was "easy" according to Christoper. Social Studies -- on European history -- was a bit harder. He said, "If I have one more ism to learn . . . " Socialism, Capitalism, Colonialism, Nationalism . . . they get confusing for me, too.
So, as I wrote above, school is humming along.
