My son just completed 8th grade while taking 9th grade honors math in the high school, along with 2 other 8th graders, and it was a very positive experience. It should also ease his transition into high school next year.<br /><br />Have fun with your sister and other summer plans. How exciting about writing the first paragraph and getting good feedback – kids don’t lie about that stuff. I’m looking forward to reading #2.<br /><br />Love that sunset photo below!
