Warren, Pennsylvania 16365-3448 Phone: 814/723-9340 Fax: 814/723-9275 ‘Ann M, Buerkle Principal April 12, 2012 To Whom It May Concern: Itis my pleasure to recommend Mr. C.J. Lyons for a position as an elementary music instructor. C. J. taught music to Kindergarten and First Grade at SSELC for the 2011-12 school year. He is knowledgeable of the proper methodology/techniques to use when working with young students. C.J. plans standards aligned lessons that are active, of a “hands on” nature, and very stimulating for young children, In addition, he taught “academic centers” with music and movement as the focal point with the reading/math skills. Mr. Lyons follows district policies and procedures in addition to presenting himself well as a professional educator. He attends professional development opportunities and continuing education offerings. Mr. Lyons would be a nice addition to any elementary staff. If you would desire further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 814- 723-9340. Sincerely, 7 [Er—n hirer ke Ann M. Buerkle Principal South Street Early Leaning Center
