  Hello everyone! My name is Cyann and I’m currently enrolled in EDU3650. I am majoring in special  education with a concentration in English grade levels 1-6. I work as a lead teacher at a daycare along with coaching soccer to toddlers on the weekends. Providing guidance and patience to those who are neglected and are in need of it most is where my passion lays. My hobbies and interest include coloring and children books; specifically specifically how they develop and open a child’s mind to endless possibilities and wonders. I hope you all enjoy my wonders here on Cy’s findings!
