Hi, I'm Ms. Alana Hendershot. I'm a 23-year-old first grade teacher who's passionate about teaching children how to read and write. I also encourage my students to speak other languages in my classroom, because one can't stress enough how important being bilingual is today in the 21st century. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish. I strive to create a multilingual and multicultural classroom that is a welcoming environment where all can learn.
