My fieldwork focused on early childhood education, specifically kindergarten and second grade. Being able to observe those two grade levels helped me to solidify my desire to be a teacher.

get back to whichever story I was reading at the time. As I got older, reading for pleasure took a backseat to homework, a social life, and other hobbies.
