Two interesting comments from students today.  I had a student ask me if we were going to have time for "aesthetic" reading.  When I replied "Yes," she responded, "I love this class!"

Another student asked if he was going to have to complete a book report on his reading.  When I said he didn't, he responded, "Thank Goodness!" My third period class is a little harder than my other classes, but it was quite rewarding to have them all reading.  I have quite a few books in my classroom library (probably around 200) so there were some good options for the students.  I even have students talking to me about what they are reading.  Two books generate a lot of comments:  Girl Interrupted and The Hunger Games.
