Sam is leaving the small world of elementary school and is headed to junior high. Sam started public school in fourth grade, a school year that ended abruptly due to COVID, his next year was a mix of online and in person. Sixth grade was his last chance at a normal year, even though he was masked for 3/4 of it. Halfway through the school year, though, his beloved teacher left and Sam was left to finish up elementary school learning about interpersonal conflict management skills. It has been a bumpy few years, but he came out unscathed, and pretty well educated. His new teacher and Sam even came to appreciate each other, and were able to work together.
This year he played basketball, participated in track, and even tried baseball, on top of achieving academic honors. He graduated elementary school with honors and is ready to take on junior high.
I can't believe all my children are done with elementary school. It feels very weird to have a houseful of people who used to be babies and are all now taller than I am.
