Mr. Meeker - 3rd Grade

Mr. Meeker

Teaching

My name is Michael Meeker and I am excited to start my 10th year teaching third grade at KMES!  Third grade is a special year in which students work hard to grow their skills in so many ways and take ownership of their learning.  I am honored to serve as a coach and facilitator of learning to the students in my classroom.  


I grew up on a farm outside of Mantorville, attended KM as a student myself, and am a proud 2004 graduate.  Since about the time I was in second grade, I was inspired to be a teacher due to the amazing teachers and staff that pushed me to become the best person I could be.


I am grateful to be able to teach in my hometown and hopefully make a difference in the lives of the students I interact with. My mission is to create a fun and exciting learning environment where students are fully engaged in their learning, held to high expectations, and practice what it means to be a team player with each other. 

Mr. Meeker's family

Family

My wife and I live in Kasson with our 8 year old daughter Marlee and 5 year old son Brecken. We are very proud to be members of the KoMet community! My wife Jessica is a literacy specialist at KM. When we are not in our classrooms, we spend the majority of our time playing and learning with our family. I grew up on a farm north of Mantorville with my family and still spend many hours after school and weekends helping in the fields and working with the beef cattle on the family farm.
