Hi My name is Ms. Aldana and this my first year teaching first grade at Graham A Barden. Last year I taught second grade at Brinson Memorial Elementary. I love first grade and all the learning, exploring and fun we get to have. 

I graduated from Cal State Stanislaus with a BA in Communication Studies with an emphasis in education. Teaching has always been something that I have wanted to do especially first grade. 

I was born and raised in Northern California and in 2017 my husband, daughter and three cats decided to make the big move to New Bern, North Carolina and I am so glad we did. We love it here! In my free time I love to read and most recently my family and I have started sailing.
