Back to School Party

  PTSA would like to get this year started with a Back-to-School Beach Party at 7PM, tonight, August 15th. 

Are you looking for things to do at home?

I have been asked by some students that they want to go online and work on things that we are doing here at school. So I've found many links that will guide you to many subject areas that you may be interested in - Enjoy! Don't forget that you can also go to www.google.com and enter the subject and grade level that you want to look for as well to find links. Feel free to alway ask me to find something for you!

A Plus Math

I grew up here in Acworth about 10 minutes from Baker!  I went to college down the street at Kennesaw State University.  I have been teaching 3rd grade at Baker for seven years.  I love teaching 3rd grade!  I live in Woodstock with my husband, our dog, and kitten.
