First Impressions

Loren and I have both made the switch to Middle School this year. I was a bit nervous about it. My impression of middle schoolers was that they are crazy, twitchy, immature and unable to control themselves. I found I was mostly right! They are twitchy and immature, but they are also super cute so far. The boys don't like the girls and vice versa. The boys range from little kids to tall things with peach fuzz mustaches and squeeky voices. The girls range from little kids to 5'6 somthings and they either are in controll of themselves and somewhat confident, or giggly and unable to sit apart from their best friend who is wearing the exact hair style as they are.
I still vividly remember my 8th grade year as most everyone does remember some time in middle school and not fondly. But, I do have some shining moments that have made an impact on me even to this day. I hope that I can provide some of those moments for my students and help them through this tough time.
Pictures of the school will follow sometime soon!

I have some fond memories of my middle school years. Are any of yours peppered with Alice in Chains, black lights and incense?
