Dear Families,

Hello! My name is Mellany Han and I am going to be student

teaching in Mrs. Heiduks 3rd grade classroom until the end of April. I am
currently earning my teaching credential at Westmont College and have
been at the edge of my seat to be in an elementary classroom full-time. I
am especially excited to get to know your kids as this classroom is
brimming with character and enthusiasm.

I graduated from Boston University with a degree in English and

taught abroad for 2 years in South Korea, my native country. I have a
passion for working with youth and enjoy the unique characteristics and
strengths that come with each individual. I am involved in 826LAs non-
profit dedicated to helping students develop writing skills. Last year, I ran
the LA marathon in support of accessible maternity healthcare with Every
Mother Counts. I love to write, I love to draw, and I love to stay active.

I will strive to use my passions to support

and connect with the students in the
classroom. I am truly grateful to take part in
your childs education and hope to make
lasting contributions for a lifelong journey of
growth. I will do my best to work with Mrs.
Heiduk and support the learning and the fun in
the classroom. Thank you for this opportunity
and I look forward to meeting you soon.

Warm Regards,
Ms. Han
