Another Day of Them Dressing Up

            My final week of observation was a fun way to go out, if I must say. It was another day of Halloween fun, yes. When I was there and there were about four students in each of his classes. In his second class there were four of them, and two of them had their face painted and the other two were actually dressed up. The two with their face painted were girls, on had her whole face painted and the other one had only half of her face painted. One gentleman had his face painted, as well. The two who were dressed up, one of them was a gentleman who was dressed up all nice, like suit and tied up nice. The other dressed up student was a girl who was dressed up like the devil’s mistress. Which made sense because her boyfriend, who was in the previous class, was a priest.

            The class was just like the class before it. It took forever for them to get focused, and even two of the kids got their participation points taken because they kept talking when Mr. Ray told everyone to stop talking. The class is doing the exact same thing as the first class I got to observe, but for some reason I felt that this class would be a little more focused on the assignment because the talk in the classroom was generally about the assignment. Except for one of the group where they were talking about what smoking weed does to your lungs.  After a while of that, they finally started getting to their assignment. I think that only about four of the groups are actually getting things done because they understood what was has to be done, and were prepared for this assignment. Not stuck trying to fish for ideas, like the rest of the groups. While sitting there I guess there was a conflict before about some guy talking crap about some girls that they knew. One of the boys in the class was like,” I wanted to hit him so bad, because he was talking about Santana, and then he started describing you.” At this time he was talking to one of the girls in the class who wanted to know what was up as well. Once he finished telling her what he heard, you could just see the change in her whole attitude. She is all quiet now, and you could just tell that she was completely bothered by what she heard. Walking around I got to see what the groups were doing, and got to see what kind of creative minds that they added to their project. Too bad I wasn’t going to be able to see what their finished projects were going to look like, bet they were going to be good.

 I was kind of interested in why so many of the kids liked their faces painted. It was neat to see what styles they added to their face paint. Like I have said many times before, it really shows what kind of culture they have, and what they love to do. Still remember one girl that I saw that her face paint was really pretty. She even did her hair, and it looked really good. These kids have talent, they really do, and I cannot wait to see what these kids have in store for us in the future.
