To Whom it May Concern:

I write this letter to recommend Sarah Roth for an overseas teaching position. Sarah worked as an
early childhood teacher under my supervision for many years at PS 24K - The Dual Language School for
International Studies in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, New York.

Ms Roth was a skilled literacy teacher of young students in both English and Spanish. She used a
balanced literacy model to engage students in reading and writing activities that created a love of
reading and also equipped students with the skills they needed. Ms. Roth was also adept at teaching
of mathematics, social studies and science in both English and Spanish, as well. Ms. Roth
participated as an effective and enthusiastic collaborator with her grade level teaching peers to plan
lessons, units of study, field trips and student assessments. Her relationship with families was
strong. Parents felt comfortable coming to Ms. Roth with questions and concerns and she always had
good participation for classroom or school-wide family events. Ms. Roth was among the strongest
teachers that I supervised as both an assistant principal and as a principal for more than twelve
years.

Please feel free to contact me should you need more information.
Sincerely,

Christina Fuentes
