In class yesterday, Mr. Vroom's 6th grade ELA students read the second to last chapter of their novel and he requested they wait to read the final chapter with him today. The students were pulled into the end of the book so much that many admitted they didn't trust themselves to stop reading so they asked if Mr. Vroom could hold onto their books overnight. We hope they enjoy their last chapter together as a class today!
