So it has been a while since I last posted and for good reason- I was married over spring break!
After much joy and whirlwind I have re-entered reality and am now present to the purpose of this blog. The research I have been collecting has focused on 4 categories
1. Attitude
2. Amount of sleep
3. Eating habits
4. Views on learning

My students have become accustomed to taking the survey during the week and really seem to enjoy having the chance to share their feelings. After collecting data for the past 6 weeks I have decided to teach a health unit during my full time take over.

Below you will find the four questions that I asked the students. I offered the survey Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Directions:
Read questions and then circle the number that best fits you. After you are finished please bring back to Ms. Cowan's desk. You do not have to put your name if you do not want to.

Question 1: How tired are you? (1-5; 1 being exhausted and 5 being very well slept)

Question 2: Ho do you feel about learning today? (1-5; 1 is not interested at all and 5 is super excited)

Question 3: How are you feeling right now? (1-angry, 2-sad, 3-lonely, 4-happy, 5-nothing at all)

Questions 4: Are you hungry? (1-5; 1 being very hungry and 5 being not hungry at all)

The results were interesting although for the most part the students are happy and well slept. There were a couple of students who shared that they were sad and angry and a number of the students come to class without eating any breakfast. For these reasons I really felt like a health unit will benefit them.
