Accelerometer help!

I am making a rocket payload and need have the accelerometer data recorded so i can get it after.
The accelerometer i am using is this one: Triple Axis Accelerometer Breakout - MMA7361 - SEN-09652 - SparkFun Electronics
The arduino board i am using is this one: SparkFun ProtoSnap - Pro Mini - DEV-10889 - SparkFun Electronics

I have got no idea how to even start, or if i have all the parts i need. Could someone please help me with what needs to be connected to what and what code i would use. Also, how do i connect a battery to it. i have this battery: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/341
