My name is Olivia Mendoza; I am a 3 rd grade bilingual teacher with 15 years of
teaching experience at Vista Hills Elementary. I am writing this letter of recommendation on behalf of Marisol Terrones. Marisol was an intern in our school for a period of 12 weeks. She would come into my classroom on a weekly basis to observe my class. During that period of time she got to observe class management strategies and she was able to experience guided reading lessons as well as stations management. I was able to notice that she is someone who is not afraid of asking for help or clarification of questions that needed to be addressed. During that time she displayed positive enthusiasm along with those qualities a person needs around kids. She was attentive with the kids and understanding. The kids felt confortable around her and they trusted her as someone who could help them with their questions. She quickly became acclimatized with the classroom atmosphere and picked up on those qualities a teacher needs to have to be successful in this rigorous environment; she is a hard worker, responsible and driven person, overall a go-getter, someone to whom teaching comes naturally. With her relentless motivation and effort she will be a great asset at any campus.
Please feel free to contact me shall you have any further questions at omendoza@yisd.net Sincerely,
Olivia Mendoza 3rd Grade Bilingual Teacher Vista Hills Elementary
