March 10, 2021 ‘To Whom It May Concern, It is my pleasure and honor to write a letter of recommendation for Adriana Mancilla. | have worked side by side with Ms. Mancilla over the last eight months. She has been a pleasure to work with and has been a great asset to me and my students. Ms. Mancilla joined my class at the beginning of the school year to provide extra support while our district navigated the continuance of schoo! instruction during the pandemic. Her support began virtually during distance learning via Zoom. She administered beginning of the year assessments, such as Running Records and iReady Testing to gather student data. When our school welcomed back students to campus in the late fall, Ms. Mancilla reported to campus and continued to assist while | zoomed from home. In the classroom Ms. Mancilla developed and managed classroom procedures that followed safety protocols and recommendations to ensure both student safety and a productive learning environment. She co-taught and re-taught reading, writing, and math lessons aligned with California Common Core Curriculum. She co-taught many engaging social justice lessons throughout the year promoting diversity and inclusion. Additionally, Ms. Mancilla helped implement GATE practices through Reader's Workshop. She stayed after school and collaborated with me to discuss student progress and best practices to address individual learning needs. She is fully bilingual and helped translate conferences and other communication needs with parents. Ms. Mancilla is patient, flexible and has great rapport with students. She is tech savvy and willing to help out at a moment's notice. Ms. Mancilla is very reliable and any team would be lucky to have her. If you would like further information please feel free to contact me at (714) 290-3413. Sincerely, Chilo Clara Kolimansberger Third Grade Teacher Wooderest Elementary
