Greetings New Teacher Friends... and Parents... and Students too!

WellI hello there and welcome to Small Steps Building Big Dreams. This is my blog dedicated to my passion for Elementary Education. In particular, I am reaching out to new teachers like myself, but in reality, this blog can be enjoyed by parents, students, and teachers of all kinds. 

I recently completed (and survived) my first year of teaching. Because I have my own little one at home and am currently working on my Masters,  I am choosing to work part-time at the moment. I found the perfect position this past year as a prekindergarten teacher for the half-day program at Six Mile Charter Academy. I really did not know what to expect and in fact, I was hired just one week before school began, so I did not have all that much time to prepare. However, what I found was that once I met my students and their parents (which I should mention that I was so lucky to have an absolutely amazing group for my first year), I learned as they learned and we grew together. I fell in love with my class and was amazed at how much they were able to learn and take in. Their little minds were just begging for more and more information. That's when I knew that I absolutely always wanted to be a part of early education. When my son is older and I have earned my Masters Degree,  I plan to work full-time and would ultimately like to work in any area of elementary education, grades pre-k through 6. 

You will find that this blog is a way for me to communicate with fellow new teachers and also parents and students. I want to explore different aspects of Elementary Education and learn along with my readers, much like I learned right along with my very first class.
