Yep, this year’s class of sixth grade has only twelve days remaining in the 2008-2009 school year. Wowsers!
So, I have a couple or so of questions before you end and head into summer and seventh grade:
How has this year gone by for you?
What were the biggest surprises this school year for you?
What achievements were you the most proud of?
What was the wackiest moment in your year?
What will you miss the most from sixth grade?
What do you look forward to most about going into seventh grade?
Maybe take a moment to respond to a couple of the questions above–could be fun to read them again come fall!

I understand that you need to be thirteen in order to register on Quizlet, so dump that idea for now. If you do the game or games, let me know your score or time, and I will add the XC on your grade.

Now that we have finished reading Sharon Creech’s novel Walk Two Moons, I have a question for you:
Does Sal or Phoebe or Ben or Gram or Gramps or Margaret Cadaver or any other character remind you of anyone you know, including you?
Think about it.
Do tell!
