Welcome to Mrs. Kennedy's Classroom Mrs. Kennedy Hi! My name is Melissa Kennedy.  This is my thirteenth year of teaching. I have taught eight years of full day kindergarten and four years of first grade. I am grateful for having four years of first grade experience, but I am also very excited to be back teaching full day kindergarten.  I have a Master of Arts degree in Early Childhood Development from Conccordia University.  Kindergarten is definitely where my heart is!
