My son told me I could not be a true 6th grader until I read at least one of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. After reading, I have to admit it is my new favorite book now! My son was shocked; he could not believe I loved it so much. He thought I w...

Wow, the last month has been crazy for us 6th graders. A new love interest has emerged and we did not see it coming. We are not living up to our potential in Math and our popularity rating keeps going up and down. What a roller coaster ride! My s...

As I mentioned before, there are a few things limiting me from fully revisiting 6th grade, because I simply refuse to do them, including field trips! Besides, I don't rememember our school system offering any 6th grade field trips back in 1982; th...

After our one mile run, I wanted to enjoy my son’s playground a little bit…after all, I did not get to spend much time on the playground as a 6th grader. Recess for me equaled bullies, so setting foot on the pavement was not an option. I did go ou...

6th Grade Revisited - Diary of a Wimpy Mom

My son told me I could not be a true 6th grader until I read at least one of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. After reading, I have to admit it is my new favorite book now! My son was shocked; he could not believe I loved it so much. He thought I would not be able to relate. In his mind only kids go through mishaps and adventures. According to him, grown-ups lead boring lives, just pushing paper all day at work. Recently, I started a new job so to prove him wrong; letting him know I also… Continue

6th Grade Revisited - The Bus

My son and I were doing our homework, when he casually mentioned an innocent occurrence that took place on his bus. I was unresponsive and frozen to his conversation, he tried to snap me out of it, “Mom, mom” he kept saying. “Is there something wrong?"

The buh, the buh, the bus…UGH! How could I forget about the BUS! I do not know which was worse the bus or the bullies. I think the bus may have had a slight edge. After all, it was this evil machine that took me to my 6th grade temple of doom!

6th Grade Revisited - Sick Day

I remember some mornings during my 6th grade year were agonizing. I tried to figure out clever ways to skip school, especially if I was severely threatened the day before by the irrational bullies who tormented me. Had a lot of tricks up my sleeve to stay home, most often, I would try the old thermometer on the light bulb trick. When I should have undoubtedly been deceased one morning my mom caught on and shoved my butt out the door.

Present day… My 6th grade son woke up one morning, shuffled i… Continue

6th Grade Revisited - First Semester Ends/Parent-Teacher Conference

Yea!! The moment I have been waiting for…Parent Teacher conference! I think it will be fun going as a former 6th grade student, turned parent, turned 6th grader again. I bet this teacher has no idea I am one of her students...um, well, kind of. I feel like I am in one of those Little Rascal’s episodes where Buckwheat puts on a long overcoat, gets on Spanky’s shoulders and they begin to infiltrate adult venues. I just hope I don’t transform right before teach’s eyes into a pouty 6th grader with a… Continue

6th Grade Revisited - Mental Math

By now you’re probably aware of my math ineptitude. Recently I heard a radio personality say, “If math is the Harlem Globetrotters, then I am the Washington Generals constantly getting confetti dumped on my head!” When it comes to math, I am riddled with confetti, but I think I’ve discovered the problem… There is a diagnosis for people who switch words around while reading - it’s called dyslexia. Likewise, I have discovered a diagnosis for those who struggle with math; it’s called, Developmental… Continue

Carol,
Thanks for adding me as a friend. I just joined 3 days ago and haven't had a chance to really jump in with both feet.
I loved your blog about 6th Grad revisited. It is a great idea that you are going through 6th grade again with your son. I know it will change you forever. Hope you pass 6th grade with flying colors!!
