Dear Parents/Guardians, My name is Allen Govea and I am a student teacher in Mrs.

Bahlers 2nd grade classroom at Garden Hills Elementary school. I am a senior at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign majoring in Elementary Education. This semester, I will be working closely with Mrs. Bahler in furthering the education of her 2nd grade class. I will be assisting her with lessons, working closely with groups of students, and working one-on one with other students on different activities that will help them succeed and have a positive experience this semester at Garden Hills Elementary. I look forward to working with your son/daughter this semester and I will do my best to make sure they have a great year! If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me at any time you want. I understand that one may be busy, but I assure you that I will do my best in returning a response. My email address is agovea2@illinois.edu and my cell phone number is (773) 349-5385. I look forward to one day meeting all of you! Have a great day!

Sincerely, Mr. Govea
