Dear Mrs. Wit,

 My name is Jordyn Katz and I am currently a junior attending Rider University from Cherry Hill, NJ. I aspire to become an Elementary Education teacher by double majoring in Elementary Education and Psychology with a minor in Special Education. During my first two years of college, I have had the opportunity to complete two field works. One fieldwork occurred at the Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart, and the other occurred at Mercer Elementary School in the Mercer County Special Services School District. I observed and worked with typical children, as well as children with severe autism.

I have always had a passion for teaching children. I have worked at a summer day camp since I was fourteen years old, which happens to be the same camp that I attended as a child. I work with six-year-old children at the camp, including a few kids with special needs. I would love to learn more about children with special needs and would love the opportunity to work with them.

I cannot wait to experience a classroom full of children that are eager to learn just as much as I am. I believe that teaching is the most rewarding job a person can have. I love knowing that at the end of the day, I have impacted a child’s life in a positive way and hopefully I have taught them something new that they can use and be proud of.

I am looking forward to working with you this semester and meeting your classroom of children!

Sincerely, Jordyn Katz
