a little bit about your teacher
Hello! My name is Mrs. Balkovec, and I am your second grade teacher. I hope that you have had a fun and relaxing summer. I am thrilled to have you in my class this year! I want to learn all about you but first I thought you might want to know a little about me.
I am married to Chad Balkovec. He is a carpenter for J.E. Dunn. We have four amazing children Kaylee, Jenna, Marley, and Brody. Kaylee is 19 and is our dancing queen! She danced all her life and now she is a sophomore in college. Jenna is 16 and is our soccer star! She has played soccer since second grade and plays select soccer for Papillion. Marley is 11 and she loves to sing, play basketball, and softball! Brody is our youngest and only boy! He is 9 and loves all sports. He is currently playing football, basketball and baseball.
I have lived in Omaha, Nebraska all of my life. I graduated from the University of Nebraska at Kearney with a Bachelors Degree in Education with an Early Childhood Endorsement. I also completed my Masters degree for Curriculum and Instruction from Doane College. This year will be my thirteenth year teaching in Gretna. My last twelve years were very successful and fun so I cannot wait to have a wonderful experience with my class this year. I know we will have a lot to explore together in second grade.
As this new year is upon us, it opens many opportunities to grow, discover, and expand on our knowledge. I am both pleased and honored to share in all of your interests, learning styles, and personalities. I cannot wait to meet you and learn more about you!
