Meet Mrs. Martinez….. AKA...Field Day Scooter Champion

Greetings from the first grade! I’m Meghan Martinez and have been a member of Godwin School since 2009!
I began my teaching career in 2002 after graduating from East Stroudsburg University and later received my masters degree in School Building Leadership from St. John’s University. Throughout my journey as an educator I have taught kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 4th grade, but 1st grade is by far my favorite grade to teach!
I live with my husband and 2 sons, Matt and Dan, and our dog Rosie in Mt. Tabor, New Jersey. When I’m not in school you can often find me in my gardens and pumpkin patch because I love getting my hands dirty! We enjoy vacationing on Long Beach Island and boating on Lake Mohawk.
These are a few of my favorite things:
Food: Anything with Pasta
Movie: Sound of Music
IceCream Flavor: Coffee
Candy: Twix
Season: Fall
