I started out the morning with a different type of fake gash across my face. It didn't take long before students who've never been in my class before came up to me and said, "Can I come to your class today?" Mwahahahaha. A few of the girls that came this morning asked if they could actually be in my class. You say that now. Hopefully they'll feel the same way once they get in. I spent the first hour or so teaching and letting the students practice, then turned on a movie in the background while I put lacerations and bullet wounds on anyone that wanted one. One student that came did the most awesome black eyes. He's got skills. Here are a few from this morning:
Then at lunch I had even more students ask if they could come to my class. "Ask your teacher." I think in the end I had at least 10-15 extra students on top of the class I was covering. Thankfully, a few teachers came with their students, while another teacher gave up her conference period as well and helped do bruises and lacerations. It was awesome. I taught and helped the students for the first hour, then applied wounds for the next two hours nonstop. Other students stepped in and helped, many of them not in my class. I think I'll have my students create wounds for a grade on Friday, and let other students come to get fake wounds as a fundraiser. 50 cents for a bruise. Maybe a dollar for a wound with latex. $2-3 for anything with putty (larger cuts and bullet wounds). Then use the money to replace supplies so we can do more at the Halloween party next week. Here is another sample from the last half of my crazy day:
It made me happy to see the kids happy. Tomorrow will probably be another crazy day. I'll probably need to limit how many extra students I take on tomorrow, but as long as I have an extra teacher around to lend a hand, bring it on!
