The long faced workers dressed in red shirts with the logo on the front and long black pants, scraped greasy pans and washed dirty dishes.

Next, I saw Andy. a pale young man wearing the most common red Jets shirt with the logo on the front. He was making fresh pizza dough on the back counter. The final person I saw was Alexa, a beautiful young blond haired girl wearing a red Jets shirt and black pants. She was operating a three tub multiple hose sink washing the dirty dishes and

    I have loved every moment spent at my site these past 8 weeks and look forward to the weeks ahead. I am observing at the first Pre-K in the district that I graduated from.

During my observations at the CCC Childcare Center, I learned plenty about the methods and practices that go into early education before primary grades. The preschool classroom really stood out to me because the centers in the classroom were very open ended and filled with lots of manipulative for…
