F.E.R.+Feb+28

1. Checklist -- What specific tasks from the project checklist did you and your buddy begin, work on, or accomplish? What step are you on the checklist? Began working today on researching the celebrities. Instead of using the paper outlines given to us, I decided it would be easier to have the girls record their research in spirals. This will ensure that the information doesn't get lost in the shuffle of daily life! It will be secure in one spot, where we can easily access the information later on down the road. The girls are working very well today.

2. Summarize your session with your buddy. What went well? What challenges do you encounter? How did you overcome or deal with these challenges? Both girls are doing well so far. We are still in the beginning stages. Citations are going to be a challenge. There isn't an easy way to collect the information for the citations. It's a pain to write everything down. Copy and paste options oftentimes don't seem to work for whatever reason making the whole process quite tedious. Decided that I would do the citations for the girls.

3. Reflections - what did you do well today? How were you supportive? What area do you need to improve in for your next session? I felt that I did well with splitting my attention between the two girls. We have a system worked out, and I think it will work for our future sessions. Yes, it's a challenge, but we are figuring out a system.

4. Plans - what are your plans for the sessions this week? How will you prepare? What will you prepare? Next session we will continue powering through on research. Shamiez still needs to get a book source - I've asked her a few times now. She claims that the librarian is getting her a book from another library. I plan to keep up the pace with the two girls so that we stay on task and on schedule.
