Dear Sir or Madam;
Ms. Kelly Desjardins is a confident, hard-working individual who has the
potential to be successful in the field of education. During her placement at
Central Avenue Public School, she proved to be very efficient, helpful and
professional. In a Grade 2/3 setting, she worked with students in groups as
well as one-on-one. She encouraged students with high-needs prompting
them to read aloud, instructing them to understand their assignment and
encouraging them to finish tasks. Overall, she contributed meaningfully to
the progress and development of the students with whom she worked.
Throughout the course of the day, Ms. Desjardins organized materials,
provided assistance to students and staff and communicated pertinent
information to aide in the running of the school. Her keen initiative was
evident when she volunteered to do odd jobs willingly and she did not
hesitate to move around the classroom assisting others when the need
arose. She was a calming presence in the classroom and the students felt
comfortable approaching her and asking her for feedback on their work
and performance. She handled various situations with praise, kindness and
authority when it was appropriate. The students responded to her with
respect.
It has been a pleasure to have Ms. Desjardins in our school. She would be a
welcomed asset to any setting within the realm of education. Should you
wish to discuss her performance, I would be more than willing to have that
conversation. I can be contacted at my home number, (705) 849-2725.
Yours truly,

Ms. E. Rousselle
