I don't know if I will ever feel like I'm fully on track or "finished." I often feel like these terms are overused! I guess I would feel better about my progress with collecting data, had we not been off for a grand total of 22 days and a few hour delays thrown in there.
My participants have been more than helpful with my research process and I'm happy to say that many of them have demonstrated gains. However, I cannot speak too soon, as I've not given the post assessment yet, nor have my kids taken their state testing assessment yet. I want so badly for my writers to succeed, but I understand now that was not the case. I am finishing a research project that I implemented within my classroom that will hopefully aid others in making decisions within their classrooms. I think that's a pretty big feat.
This week I'm grateful. I'm terrified as to how things will turn out (for both myself and my students), but I'm grateful for the simple fact that I was able to do this with my particular group of kids.
Happy blogging,
Emily
