Day Thirty: Anybody there?

Missing quite a few students today. I think half my class was gone in 6th period. Where is everyone? I'm pretty sure I have a student in jail, and a few others suspended for fighting.

I started off the morning a little freaked out about tomorrow. I'm supposed to have a skit from my kids for the assembly tomorrow, and I had NOTHING. A few kids had expressed interest, but I didn't have time yesterday to go over anything with anyone. During 2nd, I was showing one of the students the powerpoint another teacher is sharing tomorrow about bullying so we'd have a frame of reference. At that point I wasn't sure if I'd have anyone else. We started listing off ideas, until we came up with doing a fake talk show. By the end of lunch, I had four students planning on coming during my 5th period conference to practice a skit. I have no idea how it will turn out tomorrow, but we had so much fun. One guy is going to be the talk show host. Another a kid that's been bullied. Another that's a bully...and I'm going to be his mom. A girl is going to be a principal at the school. We may or may not have choreographed a fight at the end, and I may or may not have taught the girl how to pull hair on stage. I was hoping she would pretend to pull mine, but we couldn't justify it. So I'm pulling hers.
