My name is Manessa Adams and I am excited to welcome you to our second grade class. I look forward to getting to know you better, and would like to tell you a little bit about myself.
I have lived in Salt Lake City my entire life and love being surrounded by mountains. My teaching career began as a preschool teacher, and I have been working with children for almost 20 years. I attended the U of U where I received a degree in Early Childhood Education and later received my Master’s Degree from Westminster in Elementary Education. My husband and I have three children. In my spare time, I enjoy camping, reading, listening to music and spending time with my family.
I believe that it is important to educate children in a way that pays attention to their social and emotional needs in addition to their academic needs. Learning can be fun, and children learn in a variety of ways. You will see a lot of hands-on activities in my classroom. I also love to incorporate art, music and movement into my lessons whenever possible.
The teacher-student-parent relationship is very important. I will send home a weekly “Parent Letter” every Friday to keep you informed of what’s happening in our classroom and throughout the school. I welcome parents in the classroom, and would appreciate any time that you can spend with us. Also, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call, email, or meet with me anytime.
I can’t wait to begin this year’s learning adventure with you. I look forward to seeing you soon.
