To Whom It May Concern:
I am interested in applying for a teaching position within your school district. I
will be graduating from Dakota State University with a bachelor’s degree in
Elementary Education, May of 2019. I believe my experiences with children; in
and out of the classroom, and my passion for teaching make me an ideal
candidate for a position at your school.
Throughout my field experiences, I have been within a plethora of classrooms
and worked with many different students. I completed my Level III experience in
a 2nd grade classroom at Howard Elementary School. Working with lower level
elementary students taught me about the importance of organization and giving
directions clearly and concisely. I am currently student teaching/long term
substituting in a 5th grade classroom at Laura Ingalls Wilder Elementary in De
Smet. This experience has helped me grow as an educator in many ways. I have
grown in responsibility, learned to build meaningful relationships with students,
and improved my overall work ethic.
Thank you for taking the time to review my information. You can contact me via
cell phone: (605)-270-9755 or email: shelby.thompson@k12.sd.us to arrange an
interview. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Respectfully,
Shelby Thompson
