The Sewing Mom

Well, it’s almost official. Four more weeks and my daughter will officially be a Junior High student. It’s difficult for me to believe, time is flying by way too fast. It hit home though on Friday when she brought home her class assignments for the fall, yes, all ready!

For seventh grade, my daughter will be taking science, Texas history, band, PE, pre-AP math, pre-AP reading, and pre-AP English. Amazingly, she wants to appeal her science class assignment, she feels (and so do I) that she should be in pre-AP (advanced placement). Either way, I think she is going to have her work cut out for her next year. Advanced placement courses require much more work and often lead to more homework.

I’m going to need to make sure my computers have the most up to date software to handle any projects or assignments she’ll be required to do. I currently have an older version of Microsoft Office but would like to see about getting an updated version. Students can get a discount on Office 2007 Suite and I want to look into that. I just need to provide proof of eligiblity and then the order can be processed.

It seems odd that we haven’t yet ended the school year, and I’m all ready planning for next year. I just like to know we’re ahead of the game and not panicking at the last minute.

How do you prepare your children for Junior High or High School?
