Pieces of evidence

After a little over a week of doing action research... I am finding myself with more evidence than I really know what to do with at this point.  Our project required us to have 10 pieces of evidence and after only 6 days, I have almost 30 pieces of evidence.

      2. picture of Seche reading
    3. Day 3-
      1. 8 pictures of children looking at the book... still working on the concept of left to right and up and down... but a lot of interest... by the looks on these little ones faces they enjoy being read to
  6. work samples
    1. Day 1 drawings of favorite animals
  7. interview
    1. with teacher Allen with personal reflection (Noted in Interview with Teacher Allen)

So at this point, I will keep reading to the children at lunch time but it is now time to start analyzing and really reflecting on what the evidence collected is showing.  May need to go back and add in a couple more days of observations and reflections but at this point... let the fun of putting together the research begin!
