I was not really sure what to expect as I did not have much experience with preschoolers. All of my assumptions were based off of being a summer camp counselor for six-year-old children. Now that I have started my first few weeks of practicum, I feel more relaxed and comfortable. The teachers are very helpful and engaging and the preschoolers are precious and friendly. I have already learned numerous valuable things about children and I am looking forward to what the future holds. Practicum has given me the opportunity to gain hands on experiences with preschoolers,
