Jabar Bains
To Whom It May Concern:
Jabar is a student teacher with an engaging personality who was well liked by the kindergarten students in my Full Day Kindergarten classroom. He was always proactive when dealing with the students individually and in the group setting. Jabar and I were in continuous dialogue concerning the planning for the students. He was open to suggestions from me and shared insightful ideas with me as well. Jabar is easy to work with and was eager to be part of the FDK team. His lessons reflected planning using the FDK document and other related resources. Jabar used a variety of methods to teach concepts such as using open investigation in our Rock Inquiry for science.
The children enjoyed his time with us. Jabar demonstrated a positive attitude throughout the term and clearly enjoys working with children. He actively interacts with the children in their games and often he would introduce new strategies and games to them like Freeze Dance. I would recommend Jabar for a teaching position in any setting as he is flexible and anxious to learn new ideas and how to adapt them to any environment.
Yours sincerely,
