Halloween

On Halloween, my school had a Halloween party, in which we gave candy to the kids and watched Halloween movies instead of learning. We were supposed to get a projector and have one big screen for everybody all day, but the dude who was going to lend it to the school ended up needing it at his work. Booooo-urns. So instead, those of us with laptops downloaded movies and played them for each of our classes. I gave my classes the choice of "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," "The Nightmare Before Christmas," and "Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Were Rabbit." The two latter were 80 minute movies, so most of the kids either saw the first half or the second half, but they didn't notice. They could barely sit through that.

Most of the kids didn't dress up, since it's not a widely accepted holiday here, but some did. Here are some pictures:

This is Nancy:


I think this is Kevin:


This is Jack. He played video games somewhat noisily the whole time, and complained about the amount of candy I gave out. He's my biggest shithead and one of my biggest dumbshits.



Some of the other kids in the same class also spent the whole time playing video games:



Amy, Na-huin, Nancy, and Kevin, enthralled by Wallace and Gromit:


Hollis, John, Pam (yes, he's a boy with a girl's name), Lauren, and Bunny watching Charlie Brown. Hollis particularly enjoyed this show, although some of the kids found it a little boring at times.





In addition to the above, Harris in the front, and Any in the back. Harris sulked for a few minutes because he didn't like the cartoon, then he asked to go out in the hall. I let him go because none of the kids like him and he's a Ruiner.



Back left to right: Sally, Ava, Lucy, Jenny, and Jessica (Jessica came as a Korean--this is hanbok, traditional Korean clothing). Front: Patrick, Major, and Joey


Back: Sean, Albert, Martin, Wendy, and Celina
Front: Teresa, Erin, and some girl Erin brought with her who isn't a student at our school, I don't think.



Wendy, Erin, and Stranger:


Some kid isn't my student:


Two other kids who aren't my students:


Albert again:


There are pictures of me with the other teachers and staff in existence, but I need to ask them to email them to me so I can add them. I dressed as a witch because all the kids said I laugh like a witch.
