Theme Park Design Sprint by Bella
Day One
Crazy 8s

 Crazy 8s is a quick way to come up with and plan ideas. “How does it work?”, you might ask. It works like this; first, you fold a piece of paper into eight sections. Then, set a timer for 40 seconds, and focus only on one section for the entire time. Repeat for all sections. Most of the learners have done Crazy 8s before, although the newer learners hadn’t, and it went surprisingly well. After we completed all the sections, we shared what we came up with.
Day Two
Disney stuff:
On the second day of planning, we learned more about the Disney parks around the world to help inspire us. We learned about some of the behind the scenes, and secret things around the parks.
Written plans:
After we learned about the Disney stuff, we began to plan out our parks. We wrote, and drew ideas, and got our creative minds going!
Feedback:
After planning our parks, we taped them to the walls, and went around looking at everyone else’s designs. We also gave feedback to others. We put little heart stickers next to ideas we liked, and put wonderings, stars, planets, and comments on sticky notes.




Day three
We left our designs on the walls overnight, and the next day we gave new and improved feedback, having slept on our ideas.

Sorting:
After giving all our feedback, we went back to our own designs and sorted all the sticky notes. We set aside the ideas we wanted to add, and filed the rest. 




 Planning the prototype:
We then planned out what we wanted to make as a prototype and pitched our ideas to a partner. Then, they had 30 seconds to pitch our ideas back to the group.
Days 4-9
We made our prototypes! And we are planning to present our prototypes on Monday .

Thought and Emotions are like Snowballs by Bella

Thoughts and emotions are like snowballs; if you don’t stop them from rolling down a hill, they get bigger. If you’re upset, but you don’t find the cause or solution, and leave it lingering instead, then it will keep getting bigger and bigger until it smacks you in the face, hard. However, if you stop the snowball, you can stop the negative emotion or thought. But snowballs aren’t all bad. Sometimes they can be good, like when you’re with a really good friend, and you tell an inside joke and you both start laughing. You’re bouncing off of each other’s energy and happiness, and you can’t stop laughing. That’s also the snowball effect.   It might be hard at first, but one way to control your thoughts and emotions is by trying to become more self-aware of them. To really try to identify why you’re feeling a certain way, and really be in the mindset of ‘Okay, so I’m feeling this way, why am I feeling like this?’ Once you’ve answered that, you can move on to asking yourself ‘What...

How It Feels to Be the “Bad Kid” By Michael

In grade 2, I started getting in trouble all the time because I didn’t really like school. I thought there were more fun things to do, so I did them. I got in trouble for that. The teacher was making the kids do normal school stuff like writing, math, French and reading. I would talk when I wasn’t supposed to or just play around at my desk instead of working. When someone would find me doing those things, they would send me to the hall. I would play hockey with a pencil and paper ball. That was better than being in the classroom. I would always stay outside longer than I was supposed at recess to and hide in my locker instead of going to class. Then, either my teacher or another teacher would see me. They would assume that I was just misbehaving. Really, I didn’t want to go into the class and do my work. I didn’t think I could do a good job at it. I felt bad about myself. They would say, “Go to the office.” I told myself I didn’t really care. Everyone started thinking I was ...
