About Me

         

 

My name is Melissa Hendrick and I have been teaching for 6 years. I have taught 3rd grade, 4th grade, a year of Kindergarten, and 2 years of Pre-Kindergarten. I have learned a lot from being in each grade level, and have found a passion for 1st grade. This will be my 4th year teaching 1st and I am still learning and adding to our curriculum.

I was born and raised in Corning and never left town. I graduated from Elmira College with my Master's Degree and decided that this is where I wanted to stay. My husband, Raymond, and I bought a house and share it with our 10 year old dog Sierra.

I love to travel and try to go somewhere new each summer. This summer I got to finally experience Las Vegas. I enjoy taking pictures, gardening, and reading Kristen Hannah or Nicholas Sparks books.

I'm very excited for this upcoming year. As of right now we have a pretty large class at 24 children. It will be a busy year, but full of laughter and learning.
