Segundo Dia

Segundo dia en Casey Middle school

The second day at casey middle school went better than I expected. The thing that helped out a lot was that their periods were longer and they had more time to brainstorm and they had a lot more ideas to give us. The first group that we had on the second day was very hyper and did not really know what they wanted to see at Platte Middle school. This was a hard part because we did not want to influence our ideas on them, or any manipulation for what we wanted to see. My first group really started to elaborate on soccer fields, goal post, trampolines, super slides, and all these imaginable ideas that were part of an amusement park. Then we gave them a map of Platte and well they went of on that map and wanted to put the temporary building on the roof. This was very silly and it made me laugh. My second group of that day on the other hand was a lot more understanding and though of logical and realistic ideas, they placed the temporary buildings on a logical area of Platte middle school. My second group of that day also was more active and started thinking on their own without us trying to give them ideas. I believe it was because it was the second class of the day and they had been fully awake. Over all I think that this day was successful because it gave more of a visual idea of what these kids can expect once they are at Platte middle school. Although I still got responses that many students were leaving to different schools I tried to show them some of the positive things that they can expect.
