Week 8 Action Research

Week eight of this semester has quickly approached us. I can't believe that this semester is already half over. I am learning something new every single day in my placement, and am becoming excited about my full time student teaching. Mrs. Tucker keeps me on my toes when it comes to reflecting on my lesson plans and helps me in any way that I need her to.
My Action Research is going well, thus far. I am getting a great deal of data from my children and they seem to really be enjoying it. I plan on gathering data over the next few weeks and begin thinking of ways to organize it.

Week Six

This week I learned about adapting to unexpected dilemmas. School was canceled on Monday morning due to a gas leak. The students were held in the multi-purpose room and all teachers made emergency phone calls to the parents. I am glad that I was able to take an active part in the situation. I feel that I learned a great deal by observing how the staff handled the confusion.
I also continued my action research this week. I will DIBEL on Monday to add to my data.
