Action Research

I've decided to put a new spin on this article, and that's one of thanks, as this is the national week of giving thanks. So, I'm thankful I get the opportunity to do some action research, frustrating that all the paperwork may be. I know I'll be thankful when it gets all done, too. I keep thinking about my research question, and I feel the need to focus on a more specific question. I'm thankful I've made a lot of progress on my PowerPoint, but now need to work on what the questions are I really want to find out about as well as the survey questions for parents and students. 
I'm thankful Linda too us through the IRB packet and helped us fill in what we need to do.
I'm thankful our group has worked hard on chopping through Article 2 and it has been approved. We took Linda's advice and chopped away at the adverbs. We did find and get approval for our third article. Now we just have to get that one done, too.
I'm thankful I've been able to meet with my principals and have their written letters, so that's another thing on my to do list that has been accomplished. 
I'm also thankful we have some time off this week! I'll be using some of it to work on Action Research, too.
