Today was the day of my field trip. The kids were really excited and they got to see some really awesome things. I have been so consumed by the hreb stuff and it was nice to see it pay off, and be approved the day before we went. I had the students photograph and email the pictures to me. I’m going to start graphing and noting what they photograph, and tomorrow, we are going to start to draw from these images. We were even given pieces of palette to draw on. The Green Palette wants them back to make a communal art piece with them. So far things, are going well. I’m busy, but I’m excited to start logging data and get to the finish line. Here are some images that the kids took. They liked both business’s, but I think they got different things from both.

Jenn,
As mentioned in elsewhere – I am also relieved that HREB has been approved and now forward marching to generate data and begin to organize it to make sense of it. The students’ photographs are interesting. Consider developing categories by looking at the photographs and determine if you see patterns or repetitions in what they have decided to capture – then you can lay them out on the floor to determine the significance of that particular category as a means to begin your analysis.
