Today, one of the hall monitors asked if he could bring a middle school class into the library until the the person who was covering that class could come get them. She never did come get them (I was pretty sure that would happen; I wish they'd just ask me if I'll cover the class, because I really don't mind), but I had the joy of seeing the students poring over some of the new books I bought. Not just reading, but almost fighting over who got to read them, reading them out loud, trading them back and forth.
There were a couple of problems (they tried to con me into letting them go to the bathroom, when they knew they weren't allowed) but still, they've been remarkably well behaved for a 6th hour class. Really, nothing compares to seeing these kids, who patently hate school and can't wait to be gone, reading, and talking to each other about what they read.
