Hi Dalmatian families, my name is Jordan Ballein (pronounced Buh-lyn). I am looking forward to a fun year in kindergarten with your little one!!

I was born and raised in Blacksburg, Virginia. I attended Radford University and received my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I obtained my master's degree from Arkansas State University in Educational Theory and Practice. 

I knew I always wanted to be a teacher since I was little. This will be my fifth year of teaching. I have experience in kindergarten, first, and second grade. 

My main goal is to build a relationship with your child and family. We are a team in your child's education. I can't wait to see all the amazing things they will do this school year. Please know I am an advocate for your child and will support them no matter what!
