How I got into teaching: “I have always wanted to
be a teacher. My bedroom growing up was a miniclassroom.
I always admired my teachers, and looked
up to them. I wanted to be like them. They were
helping others. Who doesn’t want to help others!”
What I like best about teaching: “I love working
with children. I love the A Ha! moments and the
smiles on their faces when they ‘get it,’ or when it all
makes sense.”
Something my students probably don’t know about
me: “My students probably don’t know that I did not
like math when I was young. I was not good at it.”
Teacher
Meadows has taught math for 21 years, the last 10 at St. Edward’s. >>
