Dear Parents/Guardians:

My name is Amber Mackintosh. I am a PSII student teacher in Mr. Ryan

Letasys classroom until April 24th, 2015. I will begin teaching both
Grade 6C and 6D in Math and Science, in hopes to working up to taking
over all Mr. Ryan Letasys classes full time. I am thrilled to become a
part of the school and classroom community for this short period of
time at G. S. Lakie.
I am from Fort Macleod, AB, born and raised. I am currently enrolled in
my fourth year at the University of Lethbridge in the Faculty of
Education. I am working to complete my combined Bachelor of Science
and Bachelor of Education degrees with a major in Mathematics, and
minor in Science. One of my teaching philosophies is that teaching
begins from the heart. To be a teacher, one must have passion; passion
to learn, passion to help, passion for knowledge. I want share my passion
for math with my students, plus encourage their passion for learning.
While teaching students, both in my major and outside my major, I
would like to plan lessons that reach out to all different learning styles.
Please take a few seconds to read and complete the FOIP consent form
attached to this letter.
I look forward to working with your children throughout my time at
G. S. Lakie, and helping them to succeed at their learning goals.
Sincerely,
Miss Amber Mackintosh
