Dear Dr. Rhodes:
I enjoyed our conversation on February 18th at the Family and Child
Development seminar on teaching young children and appreciated your
personal input about helping children attend school for the first time.
This letter is to follow-up on the Fourth Grade Teacher position as
discussed at the seminar.I will be completing my Bachelor of Science
Degree in Family and Child Development with a concentration in Early
Childhood Education at Virginia Tech in May of 2000, and will be
available for employment at that time.
The teacher preparation program at Virginia Tech includes a full
academic year of student teaching. Last semester I taught second grade
and this semester, fourth grade. These valuable experiences have
afforded me the opportunity to:
develop lesson plans on a wide range of topics and varying levels of
academic ability,
work with emotionally and physically challenged students in a total
inclusion program,
observe and participate in effective classroom management approaches,
assist with parent-teacher conferences, and
complete In-Service sessions on diversity, math and reading skills,
and community relations.
Through my early childhood education courses I have had the
opportunity to work in a private day care facility, Rainbow Riders
Childcare Center, and in Virginia Tech’s Child Development Laboratory.
Both these facilities are NAEYC accredited and adhere to the highest
both locations, my responsibilities included leading
small and large group activities, helping with lunches and snacks, and
implementing appropriate experiences also provided
me with extensive exposure to the implementation of developmentally
appropriate activities and materials.
I look forward to putting my knowledge and experience into practice in
the public school system. Next week I will be in Vienna, and I plan to
call you then to answer any questions that you may have.I can be
reached before then at (540) k you for your
consideration.
Sincerely,
Donna Harrington
