Hello! My name is Jacquelyn Vanderloo, and I am SO excited to be your student's 2nd grade teacher! We are going to learn so many great things this year. :)
Just to tell you a little bit about myself-This will be my thirteenth year of teaching and my second year at Hartley. I previously taught at Zeman Elementary in Lincoln Public Schools and at Castelar Elementary in Omaha. I personally love seeing students' growth in second grade and seeing their reading skills really solidify in this grade. I also love seeing the students' personalities grow as well!
My husband Peter and I have been married since 2017. We have a three year old son named Walter and a 7 month old daughter named Willa. We also have a Boston Terrier named Leo. These days, you can see Willa and Leo hanging out together! :)
In my "spare" time, I like to make crafts, especially on my Cricut, spend time with my husband and children, go to concerts, and drink as much coffee and eat as much chocolate as I can get my hands on!
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call me here at school or email me. I can get back to you during my plan time. Let's have a great year! :)
