As of right now I work at a daycare center as a teacher for preschoolers. It is a job I have had for many years and I enjoy working with young children. The best part about where I work is the location, which is in my hometown in Plainview and the experience as well. Working with children all day gives me a great view of how I will reach my goals every day and how I will get them all motivated. Working at a daycare can seem overwhelming to some, however, I find it exciting and it gives me a chance to be creative and be a kid again!
I look forward to getting to know more of everyone!

Grammar Point:
What are adjectives? As you can see from the vocabulary list, there are many words I have included in my passage that are adjectives. So an adjective modifies a noun or pronoun. In this case. "modifies" means to "tells more about." Adjectives are words that describe things. For example: The pink flower. What word describes the flower? That it is pink. a flower is a noun and the work pink would be the adjective.
Please write a paragraph and circle all the adjectives you can find!
