Day Forty-six: Boo

Achieved the seemingly impossible. How long can a haunted house last at an alternative high school? 5 minutes? 2 minutes? How about over an hour. I am so proud of my students. No, it wasn't perfect. Not everyone got scared. The first two or three groups through were pretty bumpy. But they got into a rhythm. We had the students come in three at a time. Easy to track students in and out. I stayed in the first room, while one of the math teachers stayed with the students in the second room.

One of my students I was especially impressed with. He really got into it and created this whole character for himself. He snuck around with this ragged costume over him, with a super creepy voice. He was having so much fun. After about 45 minutes, I had the students take a short break to switch out another group that had signed up. He was planning on not coming back. I said, "Aw man, you're the best thing that's in there right now." And I meant it. I told him he was doing a really great job. Guess who came back and ended up working in the haunted house the entire time? :)
