My name is Mrs. Gretta Adams.I graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education.I have taken many master classes, but I haven’t earned that degree, yet.This school year will be my 26th year teaching, and my 17th year at Big Hollow.This is my sixth year as a Big Hollow kindergarten teacher.I taught 2nd grade before, here at Big Hollow, and 8 years of full day kindergarten at another school.
My family consists of my husband, Mike and my two sons-Paul and James. Paul is a freshman and James is a sixth grader.When I have free time to myself I like to read and garden. I am a Star Wars fan. My favorite foods are chocolate, ice cream, and crab legs.
I am excited about being able to do lots of reading, writing, math activities with the children.Language Arts (reading literature, phonics, writing, spelling, grammar) and Mathematics are the core subjects in the kindergarten curriculum.Our reading program uses a more individualized approach to understand the concepts.We will use lots of manipulatives for math to figure out the problems.
