Middle School Adventures

Mom here, writing something for Will to read someday.

Will, you are about to enter a world I don't feel that we have prepared you for.  Middle school is so different from elementary school.  I hope and pray every day that this sixth grade year will be a good transition year for you - that you will learn how different life is about to be compared to what you have known.  And that's what transition is most of the time anyway - a move from what it known to what is unknown.  What is known to you is consistency and routine.  You've had 4 great years at elementary school with some wonderful teachers and staff.  Over time you found your routines and accepted behaviors in that world.  You've had a fairly consistent group of kids surrounding you.  Some have been helpful, some have not, but you haven't had to see many changes in that area. 
I am pretty sure that sixth grade will provide some of those same things.  You should still have a fairly consistent peer group.  Once you settle into this new schedule, it will only change a few times for the year.  There's going to be a few weeks of everyone getting used to everything and we will be patient with you.
Please remember, everything is new to everyone.  Every kid in your classes is having to get used to this too.  Please give them a chance at a fresh start.  Don't hold grudges about what they did or what they acted like in elementary school.  Give yourself a fresh start too.  It's a great time to make friends.
After you settle into this routine, let's find something to do.  Maybe a club, an activity, or a new sport you haven't tried yet. 
Your family is your team.  We are all on your side.  We are here to listen, to help.  We are here to encourage, and maybe prod or push a little bit.
I saw a few things this morning that made me think of you.
"Honest people are relaxed and confident, bold as lions."
"Justice makes no sense to the evil minded; those who seek God know it inside and out."
"A tender hearted person lives a blessed life; a hard hearted person lives a hard life."
"A grasping person stirs up trouble, but trust in God brings a sense of well-being."
So be patient with everyone you meet.  They are just as new as you are.  They've had their routines messed up too.  And when you come home, you'll have a little time to relax and process your day.  When Nina and Aaron get home, they'll need that same consideration from you.  They may want to talk first, they may want to be quiet first.  But either way, your patience will be rewarded.
We love you very much.  You're on your way to becoming a young man, a champion, a defender who looks out for others.  Keep it up.

-Mom

2 short poem

An old pond
A frog jumps in
The sound of water.

short poem.

Moonlight
On a banana tree
The sound of cricket
Hear owls.

Yester day I made a captain hook (Or James Hook)'s ship.
And I made Hooks name.

(Looky looky,I got hooky.)
Today I dressed in my play costume,Peter Pan.

On the 4

9 IS BETTER

9 is better 'cause you're half a TEENAGER,
as much as a power RANGER.


9 will make you in 4 grade'
your drink will be a koolaid.

You will play on computer,
and you're friend will be a meteor.

You will play an instrument,
you're gum will be mint.

You will be writing,
when you get home you'll seek and hiding.

When its the last day in school,
you will be hyper and cool.
