I loved 6th Grade!

When I was in 6th grade, at the height of the "Baby Boom," classes were very 
large.  Nonetheless Sr. Ann made every day interesting.  We marched to 
class accompanied by Sousa tunes and sang a hymn to begin each day.  Among 
other things, I learned that Ulan Bator is the capital of Outer Mongolia and 
that Charlemagne was Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.  We complained because 
all answers had to be written in complete sentences.  Not only did we have to 
write sentences, then we had to diagram them!  "Why oh why do we have to know 
so much about grammar?" we moaned.  Sr. Ann just smiled. 

I guess I was destined to be an English/social studies teacher from an early 
age.

What is the most important thing a middle school kid is supposed to learn?

A love for life-long learning, of course!  Be curious!  Read!  Inquire! Then 
read some more! Live a life of service in the grace of God!
