8/17/14 - Welcome!!

Welcome to Mr. Balke's Class!

I''m looking forward to a great school year.  Here a few odds and ends to start off your school year:

Where is Mr. Balke's Classroom?
As you might already know, our classroom is located in the "trailer" or the temporary building, behind the main school building.  Mrs, Hall's room is on the left side of the trailer, and Mr. Balke's is on the right side.

Where do students line up before school?
As of right now, we would like Mr. Balke's homeroom to line up on the wall directly across from the trailer. Please make every attempt to arrive around 8:20.  The bell rings at 8:25.  I will lead them in the trailer.  We are going to try to go in the BACK door of my side of the trailer.

Visiting the room
You MUST check in at the office.  I know it seems impractical, but we must be safe and be aware of all adults coming in and out of the building.

Schedule
An approximate daily schedule:
8:35 - Specials
9:25 - Language arts
11:15 - Lunch/Recess
11:55 - Students go to Mrs. Hall for science and social studies
1:30 - Students return to me for math and writing
3:00 - Dismissal
Students will receive a more detailed schedule.

First week - 2:00 dismissal!!
Yes, it's true.  First week of school. then Thursday only 2:00 dismissal.


See you Tuesday!
