Smith Elementary School

Dear Ms. Smith,
I am interested in applying for a teaching position, on the elementary level, in your school
district. As a 2007 graduate of Portland State University, I have student teaching experience
on the third and sixth grade level , in both suburban and urban school districts.
At the present time I am teaching “at risk” preschool children. This position enables me to
provide these students with a “head start” in mastering basic skills. I am challenged to be
creative, nurturing and most of all, patient.
In my junior year at Portland State University, a passion for, and knowledge of horses created
an opportunity for me work for the Racing Museum. This position allowed me to teach every
fourth grade class in the local school system. I coordinated fi eld trips with classroom
instruction.
It is my goal to combine my range of experience with my ability to be a compassionate,
enthusiastic, intelli gent teacher who will make a positive contribution to your school district. I
would welcome an interview and hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Signature
John Smith
