Hey everyone, how are you all doing? Hopefully well. I need to get to bed soon since I got to start getting up early again..... School starts for all the kids here in the AM. For Eli, it is 6th grade at the middle school. He'll be switching classes 7 times a day now! Starting with honors Language Arts. Hopefully he'll do well in that class. I know he's smart enough, he just struggled with the writing part in years past. Photo is mine - Eli on the first day of school last year.

I just hope he'll learn to not be so shy/nervous. It'll be a very different experience I know. I'm proud of him though, he's in an honors class! However, I expected it to be math not Language arts for that.

@AmbiePam Hopefully he's finding his classes okay, luckily most are all close together except for one that he has to go downstairs for.

I'm sure he'll do fine as long as he can stay focused and doesn't get exhausted.

Kids are happy at school in their early age. The first day at school was a bad dream for my kid but the second day was the opposite the first day--she was so happy and couldn't wait for the third day.

My son has never really liked school because of his anxiety. That is good your kid liked school after the first day

I just worry about his anxiety. Glad he has his best friend in his honors language arts class. His girlfriend is in one of his classes, but then the other classes he'll be without them.

Children grow up so fast. Don't they Elie is a smart kid and I am sure that he will do really well in Middle school. I wish him a wonderful school year ahead.

Too fast.... He is smart, smart enough to be in an honors class. I just worry about his anxiety and dealing with new students in all his classes.
