This is my 15th year at Burgess Elementary. I have taught 4th grade GT Reading, GT Math, Reading, Math, Science and Social Studies as well as 5th grade GT Reading and Science. In 2012 I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and in 2018 I earned my Masters Degree in Educational Literacy.
My hobbies include reading, spending time with my family, traveling to National Parks, and hunting for shark's teeth at the beach. You will see some of my travels as well as my dog Mo and cat Max in the photos to the left (hit the arrow to view more of my photos)!
The best way to reach me is through email: CAdam@horrycountyschools.net . I contact parents through email and students through Google Classroom or in person.
Support every student in our class, not just you own
Speak positively about the teachers and school, even if you don't agree with them
Encourage working through struggles
Ask questions instead of giving opinions
Be a positive influence for our school and your child's education
2nd grade is an exciting year where students continue building independence, responsibility, and confidence as learners. Our goal is not only to help students grow academically, but also socially and emotionally as kind, respectful, and responsible people.
In second grade, students are learning how to manage their materials, follow routines, complete assignments, and solve small problems independently. Mistakes are a normal part of learning, and we will work together to help students learn from both their successes and challenges.
If I contact you by email or phone, it may be to share academic or behavioral concerns, celebrate successes, or discuss ways we can support your child together. I encourage students to take responsibility for sharing information from school with their families whenever possible.
Please check facebook or remind regularly for important information. I won't be able to answer phone calls during the school day, so if you have an urgent question or concern, email is the best way to contact me.
Thank you for partnering with me to make this a successful and positive school year for your child!
