Half way through the first week of school. Transition to high school seems to be going pretty well although we are all to imagine the unfortunateness of having the guy you think is cute in only one class, and that class is chemistry, and you have to wear goggles....

Sam has a math teacher that is making my heart sing. Not only does he not yell at the students and eat popcorn during class (last year's nightmare) but he actually corrects their homework himself and talks to them about where they went wrong. I know this sounds like common sense, but let me tell you people, there is a lot of correcting each other's work in middle school here.
