I have been very busy this week finalizing plans and collecting data!
Here are some things that have been going on!
- I FINALLY received all of the permission forms back from the students I was planning on using to collect data in my focus group. I am so relieved that all of the parents were on board!
- I have a focus group set in stone now and can weed out a few of the notes I took last week before I knew exactly which eight students I would be using.
- I need to give the kids pseudo-names starting now. This way, I can post my notes and data on the blog. This will be a weekend project!
- I gave the Garfield Reading Attitude survey. I am still working on getting those scored. Once I do, I will organize my data into a table and share it here on the blog. (Maybe on Sunday!!)
- I completed another round of field notes. I am already feeling more confident in my notes! I was able to observe and record much better this week, because the students in my group were doing an independent activity. I will need to stick with this plan for the next few weeks as I really try to get my data collected.
- I wish I could hear what the students are talking about when they are working. A few have been whispering as they work. I think this is okay with me-- as long as they are still working and on task too. I know if I was to set up a recorder, the students would not talk. Also, when I get up from group and walk past, they quit talking. If only I could read lips! Ha!
