Dear Parents/Guardians,

My name is Ms. Graff and I am a student teacher in Mrs. Goldsboroughs

classroom this fall. I am so excited to work with and get to know your child over
the next few months.
My goal in student teaching is to foster an inviting classroom community where
students feel supported, valued, and have the opportunity to grow individually
and as a group. I am encouraged to have the wonderful support and guidance of
Mrs. Goldsborough as I work to make this goal a reality during my time with our
scholars.
I am a recent graduate of Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Arts
degree in Special Education. This summer I was a camp director at a summer
day camp working with 3rd graders. Additionally, I have been a classically trained
Mezzo-Soprano opera singer for 13 years. I am currently working towards my
licensure as a Special Education teacher by participating in a year-long
internship through Michigan State University. I am looking forward to growing and
learning from your children throughout my student teaching.
If you have questions, concerns, or anything else you would like to share with me
about your child please do not hesitate to contact me through Mrs. Goldsborough
by email at elgoldsborough@cps.edu. I am looking forward to working with you
and your child this fall.
Sincerely,
Ms. Graff
