Research for Project

Well, the process has begun. It started with the letter home. I got a lot of reaction from the parents, both positive and negative. Some parents were thankful and others questioned how their child was going be be used in my research. It the end it all worked out and I began my research about two weeks ago. So far it is going good, the kids are still doing word sorts the traditional way and there are some that are becoming bored with the whole process. It will be very interesting to see what happens when I bring in the SMART board. The children already love it when I use it in other subjects, so we will see how they react when they are going to use it for word sorts.

Stats Class #6

Well, I survived. It was difficult, but I did it. It is strange because going into the final I thought that I was in pretty good shape, but then I was asked to recall things from the beginning of class. Thank goodness for the notes, because I would have been lost without them. I can understand why we need to learn about stats, especially since we have to write an action research project, but it really did stretch me. What can I take away for this class? The ability to understand research articles and understand what my research will mean to me.
