To`Whom`It`May`Concern,``

Without`reservation,`I`strongly`recommend`Samantha`Blum`for`a`teaching`position.``Her`genuine`
love`for`children,`ability`to`work`with`others,``and`solid`knowledge`base`make`her`highly`qualified.`

Samantha`is`currently`completing`her`student`teaching`experience`in`my`second`grade`classroom.``
During`this`time,`I`have`found`her`to`be`industrious`and`hard`working.``She`is`willing`to`take`on`new`
challenges`and`has`taught`rich`and`engaging`lessons.``Samantha`is`student`focused`and`is`always`
looking`for`ways`to`assist`the`students`with`their`learning.``Her`rapport`with`students`is`excellent.`

Miss`Blum`is`observant`and`provides`for`the`individual`needs`of`the`students`in`our`class.``She`
exhibits`a`positive`attitude`and`is`also`very`detail`oriented.```

I`appreciate`the`fact`that`she`is`always`punctual`and`is`willing`to`go`the`extra`mile`for`students.```
Her`wealth`of`knowledge`in`technology`is`also`greatly`appreciated.`

I`have`found`it`a`pleasure`to`mentor`and`collaborate`with`Samantha`during`her`student`teaching`
experience.```I`feel`that`she`will`be`a`wonderful`addition`to`any`school`district.```

Sincerely,`
