March News
Hi! I'm Mrs. VanDerKolk and I teach 1st grade in Room 16 at Jefferson School. Our class has been honored with the opportunity to be a pilot prototype classroom this year thanks to the Build 21 bond. This means I will be facilitating our learning through the use of projects, interactive whiteboards, iPads and other productivity tools we have been given. We will be working on developing our 21st century skills of collaboration, creativity, communication and critical thinking. I will post general news on this site Additional resources including current classroom information and homework/skill building links are available by clicking here. (Note: by clicking on this link, you will be going off the district website.)
