Ms. Rose Montoya, Principal
Harrison Hill Elementary School

Dear Ms. Montoya:
I am applying for the first grade elementary position as advertised through the school
district’s web site. I have five years combined experience working with young children
and I am licensed in elementary education.
After my student teaching experience last year, I obtained a teacher assistant position at
Abbett Elementary School where I have further developed my teaching abilities. With
our 1
st /2nd
grade multi-age classroom, we have just completed the unit I planned on the
digestive system. The study concluded with the students using various formats to present
to their parents. It was a fun time for the students and the proud parents. My previous
years of experience include managing a pre-school and supervising children after school
while I completed my education coursework. I have interacted with variety of young
children from diverse socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds.
I love teaching young children and I feel they respond well to me. I would like to have
the opportunity to discuss my qualifications and to schedule an interview time convenient
for your hiring committee. I can be best reached during late afternoons at 303-400-6720
or by email at jreardon@hotmail.com .
Sincerely,
Janet Reardon
