Wednesday morning at 8:30 Maddie and her sixth grade class "Stepped Up" to be in Middle School.
We pulled into the school parking lot, she jumped out of the truck, ran over to me, hugged me and said, Mom, give me one last sixth grade hug because the next time you hug me I will be in Middle school.
I considered bursting into tears right in the parking lot, but knew she would hate it.
Several kids read poems, speeches or played a piano solo.
The whole class played songs on their recorders.
We are really proud of her for all her hard work and all that she has accomplished.
We want to say a big "thank you" to Miss Ann for all her hard work too. She helped make sixth grade wonderful for Maddie. She helped them learn to write wonderful stories with hamburgers and marshmallow treats and since we are "Foodies" that totally worked for Maddie.
Her fear of Middle school seemed to vanish this past week. That's a good thing!
Summer here we come!
