The two equinoxes (fall and spring) determine when the sun starts moving in the other direction and the two solstices (winter and summer) determine the shortest and longest days. Your observation should continue to move in the direction as previously observed, but due to daylight savings time, the time will change...so get up earlier than 7 am to see what you want to see (sunrise for you will be at 7:14 am).

The sun will move lower in the sky during the winter, and be higher in the summer. The highest/lowest points are known as the summer and winter solstices. Since the equator is below the United States, when the sun is lower in the winter, it will appear to be closer to the south. It won't change direction till the solstice so the sun will still be moving south for you.
Daylight savings time sets clocks to one hour later then before so be sure to compensate for that.

Look up analemma in the site below. The sun will appear in a slightly different spot at the same time each day. Over the course of a year it makes an elongated figure eight. Very cool.

the direction you are faceing while observing the sun may have been helpful info for your experiment.
it should be more to the left side of your paper till the winter solstice the longest night of the year. I almost said day but most of them come in the standard 24 hour increments.

The sun will continue to move to the left until Dec 22 (the winter Equinox, When you have 12 hrs of sun 12 hrs of dark) it will then start moving to the right.

well i learned in my meteorology and astronomy class a few days ago that everyday the moon comes out 50 minutes earlier than it did the night before in the fall and then in spring it comes out 50 minutes later. Making the days shorter.
You know how days get shorter and longer so track it and see your results.
