I came in this morning with a plan and a lot of hope. Two classes. Three hours each. Lunch in between. No conference period. Extra students in one class due to testing. Here is how I looked at the end of the day:
No, it wasn't a bad day. No, the students didn't beat me up. I actually had a pretty awesome day. I just couldn't help myself taking a picture of my work. I'm teaching my students how to make fake wounds. I decided to do one on myself before school started to try to get the students excited about class today. Mission accomplished. I walked into the cafeteria, and the students kept asking, "Who beat you up?!" When they found out that it was not only fake, but that I was going to teach them how to do it, they thought it was so cool. (And a lot of them thought I was crazy). Below are some examples of my work, as well as some of my students:
Gunshot Wound
LacerationOnly got a few pictures today, and hoping for more tomorrow. I was really impressed with some of my students, and it was cool to see them excited to try somethings new, even if it was a little scary at first.
When I was in college, I was afraid to do these. The fake blood totally grossed me out. But it's awesome with these kids. "I want a gunshot wound too!" Hilarious. I think what fascinated me the most was the other students visiting my class today. I was so concerned about them before class started. It's not their class, their teacher, or their subject. But every kid that was stuck in my class tried everything out and was having more fun than my own students. Spread the word folks. My class is awesome!
