Hello, my name is Kristy McGovern. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I have been teaching elementary education for 15 years. I have been at Polenta Elementary for 12 years, where I have taught 1st and 2nd grade. I taught 1st grade for five years and this upcoming year will be my seventh year in 2nd grade. I have 6 grandchildren ranging in age from 3 months to 6 years old.
