Carrie and Tala: BFF

I was five minutes late to my second period 9th grade class today, a meeting ran late. When I rushed in, I discovered that my 9th graders were sitting quietly around the table, with the table cleared and their books out. They were reading aloud from Fahrenheit 451 (we always start class with me reading aloud to them for 5 minutes). When I came in, they looked up, smiled and continued reading. I was so proud!
