Hola, I'm Sra Baker. I have taught at Placerita for a really, really, really long time. Since 1990 in fact! I used to teach mathematics here. However, in 2004 I started teaching our Spanish class so that students would have an opportunity to get a head start on their language requirement for high school. I have enjoyed teaching Spanish so much! I first became interested in learning Spanish when I was in 7th grade. I continued in college (at the University of Redlands- Go Bulldogs!) and enjoyed participating in three different travel experiences there. I spent a month in Guadalajara, Mexico, a summer in Madrid, Spain, and a semester in Mexico City. I loved living with my host families, and enjoying the food, music, art, and culture of both Spain and Mexico. If I could make a trip anywhere, I think I would like to visit Costa Rica and Argentina.
I am a native Californian. I lived in the San Diego area (Escondido) until graduating from college. I met my husband at the University of Redlands, and we have been married since 1989. Mr. Baker is the Principal of Emblem Academy, an elementary school here in Santa Clarita. We have two awesome sons, who are now 25and 23. Our older son, Dusty, lives in Texas and is a sports reporter. He gets to do the weekend sports report on TV! He recently graduated from TCU (Go Horned Frogs!). Our younger son, Cody, just graduated from the University of Washington in Seattle (Go Huskies!), and is planning to attend law school or become a real estate agent. Also, we have the cutest dog ever, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, named "Rocky". Since our boys are away on their own now, Rocky is our baby boy. He is in trouble constantly!
When I have free time, I like to spend time with family and friends, go out to eat, walk with Rocky, and drink coffee and eat dark chocolate. That's a little about me! :)
Dusty, Cody, and the Rockstar
