All senior students today took part in a private screening of the film Fences that we organized at the local Cobble Hill Theater. Last year they had read the play in their ELA class and this year are reading another play from the same author. Even though we organized this event only 10 days ahead we probably had about 75% of students attend. They were mostly respectful throughout the film and definitely appreciated going.
On the way there one of my students dropped his wallet and so we had to retrace our steps all the way back to school. After not finding it for 30 minutes despite asking each business owner along the way if anyone had returned it, calling our school, and calling the local precinct, I eventually found it on the way back next to a Christmas tree on the curb waiting for pickup. My student was incredibly happy and grateful and then we had a lovely time at the movies!
