Week 5
This class has been exhausting. I have learned a lot and can't wait to get started on my Action Research Project. I will get to check off the first line item on my plan by Friday. Looking forward to staying focused and seeing where this endeavor takes me.

Revised Action Research Project
I met with my Site Supervisor this week to discuss my Action Research Project. He was super supportive of it. He offered some great insights and I made some adjustments. I am looking forward to getting started. This is going to be an awesome endeavor.
