Trustwalk

I experienced that I felt bumping around. I hit something twice. I felt tugging, and pulling. I heard arguing, and people banging into stuff.

 

The experience was weird because we were walking around and there was dirt. We had to go under something. We hit garbage cans .we came inside and it was all fun. It was scary, fun, cool, weird, and awesome. The only things to do were walk, smell, touch, and hear. You can’t talk or see. When I was walking around I could smell coffee from the teachers lounge. And that is what it felt like.

 

 

I felt the boss when I was helping my friend and I felt scared when I had my blind fold on my head. I hit my head on the table.

 

From time to time I felt like I was going to be left behind.  When we went up I felt really high.  It was kind of hurtful because I hit my head when we went under the table I also hit my stomach. I almost lost the person in font of me.  I herd water poor and I smelt coffee.  When we went out I almost fell on the sand.  I though we were in other classrooms.  My blind fold kept falling.  When my blind fold I would put my elbows on the person in front of me so I wouldn’t lose him.

Roger Chaney is a 6th grade teacher for Desert Heights Elementary.  This year Mr. Chaney has an ALL boy class who participated in a trust walk activity led by our Vice Principal Dr. Jim Studer.  The following comments are journal entries written by the students after the walk.  To participate in the trust walk, some of the students were blindfolded and led by other students around the campus.  The blindfolded students had to TRUST the leaders not to let them bump into objects or other students.

Text Box: On the day of 9/3/08 I felt an amazing feeling I will never forget. It was the coolest emotion I have ever had in years. I was the leader and I walked write into the wall. We went on stuff and under stuff and all of sudden I felt my head getting warm then I herd cars going by. From time to time I felt like I was going to be left behind. When we went up I felt really high. It was kind of hurtful because I hit my head when we went under the table I also hit my stomach. I almost lost the person in font of me. I herd water poor and I smelt coffee. When we went out I almost fell on the sand. I though we were in other classrooms. My blind fold kept falling. When my blind fold I would put my elbows on the person in front of me so I wouldn’t lose him.

What I have been through. I was blind folded and I had to follow someone. I think it took half an hour but I had to follow someone through lots of places. I thought we had gone through an obstacles court. But then I thought that we went to the teacher’s lounge. I think that we went there because I was able to smell coffee and the other classrooms were probably busy doing stuff and things. We also had to go up and down some tables. We also had to go outside. We went outside because I was able to feel the sun in my face and I was also able to hear people stepping on sand. Then we went back to our classroom. Then we took the blind folds off. When I was blind folded I was only relying on my smell and hear senses. I also had to follow the person in front of me because the person would guild me to different places like the teachers lounge and outside.  It was hard because we weren’t able to talk or to see only trust the person in front of me.

 

I just experience that we had to go over a table and go under a table. Then we went outside the sun was hitting my shorts we also went around things it was really dark. I hit my face then someone pulled my shoe then I felt plastic and some wood. Then the person behind me was graving me really hard.

 

We put on a blind fold. We went around the school and out of the school. I filth funny, scared and cool because we went on chars and went under a big tables but it was so fun and cool

 

What I just encountered was dark and all the faces I made was the ouch and don’t even want to be here faces and all I touched was a step that I almost ran into and I think we went into the teachers’ lounge I don’t now if we did or not if we did we had to go under a table and we went by the vending machines’ and out the back door out of the teachers’ lounge and we came back to class throe the door to come back to class we got in a strait line and took off our blindfolds and we where in the classroom and I felt a lot of thing, smelled a lot of things.

 

What I experienced, I felt like was in a special teacher room or something. Then in the special teacher room I saw a vending machine .I felt like I was on steps to the roof .but id have to admit I was cheating a little because I could see the floor .bit why did we do that?

 

I thought we went out of school. Then I also thought we went through an obstacle course.

It also felt like we went through a tunnel. I think we went to the teacher’s lounge. Or maybe the lunch room. Then I felt a trash can like the ones in D hall when you go to recess or physical education. Oh we also went out side because I felt the sun on my head.

It felt mysterious because you would never know where you would step.
