To Whom it May Concern:


It is a great pleasure to write this recommendation letter for
Jaclyn Hunter. I have been her student teacher classroom supervisor for
the fall of 2016. Jaclyn has been a student teacher in our first grade
classroom at Zervas Elementary School in Newton, Massachusetts. As
her supervising classroom teacher, I have had many opportunities to
observe her teaching. Jaclyns work throughout the year has been
exemplary. Her high level of commitment to children and her
enthusiasm for teaching and learning will make her a great addition to
the teaching profession.

Jaclyn demonstrates exemplary skills in planning and then teaching her
lessons. I have had many student teachers in my classroom and I put
her at the top of the list. She is very skillful at planning lessons that are
motivating, engaging and developmentally appropriate for all students.
Jaclyn really listens to her students and she very quickly demonstrates
her care and high expectations for all of them. I have observed her
commitment to her students and high ethical standards for herself. She
herself loves learning and is committed to continue to learn and to grow
with her students.

I recommend Jaclyn with my highest level of recommendation for a
teaching position.

Sincerely,


Lisa McLellan
First Grade Teacher
