Principal address information




Dear (Principals name):

Please consider me when choosing someone to fill the third grade teaching position that
was posted online this past week. Through spending time in your school, I have recognized
an atmosphere that supports new educators, while at the same time fosters growth in all
students. I believe that I would be a great addition to your teaching team.

In this envelope I have enclosed my resume that references my time spent at South Dakota
State University and the educational opportunities that have been offered to me through
the Early Childhood Education program. This past spring I had the privilege of student
teaching at Dakota Prairie in a third grade classroom. During the semester, it became clear
to me that third grade is one of the most exciting grades when it comes to learning.
Watching childrens enthusiasm encouraged me as an educator to create lessons that
pushed my students towards a greater understanding of learning. One of the most
important lessons that I learned as an educator was that the best resource a teacher can
utilize is their coworker in the classroom next door. Through my education on campus, I
have been learning about the Common Core State Standards and the Charlotte Danielson
Framework. As I prepare for my first year of teaching, I am excited at the opportunity to
delve more deeply into learning about current initiatives and how they will be
implemented in my classroom.

Thank you for taking time to look through my resume and references. I hope someday soon
we can have an opportunity to sit down and discuss in person what other educational and
professional skills I can offer to your school. I am ecstatic about the possibility of beginning
my career at your school.

Please contact me at (605) 695-7385 or julia.fargen@jacks.sdstate.edu to set up a time for
an interview. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,



Julia Fargen
