About Mrs. Baker

Welcome to Mrs. Baker's home page!

This will give you an idea of Mrs. Baker's classes.

Click on "Syllabus" to read my course disclosures.   These are now updated for the 2024-2025 school year.

 

July 1, 2024:  There were two errors on the AP Summer Packet.  On "Islands," the 3 islands need to be:  Greenland, Java, and Sumatra.

The Himalayan and Pyrenees Mountains were also listed twice.

So sorry about the errors.

Here are the two maps you need for the packet:  Eastern Hemisphere Download Eastern Hemisphere and Western Hemisphere Download Western Hemisphere

I recommend that you become an "Observer" for your student's class:

1. Go to the Sunset Junior High homepage Links to an external site.

2.  Below the picture of the school entrance, click on the link that says "Canvas."  This is the third link from the left.

4.  Then there will be a login screen.  Select "DSD Guardian and Guest Login" on the right.

5. Below that login is the phrase, "Instructions to set up a parent account."

6. It will then walk you through the process.  Your student will need to be there to help you get the code to use to add this class as an observer.

 

Supply lists for my two classes:

AP Human Geography:

  1. Pencils or pens.
  2. 1 package of 12 or more colored pencils.
  3. Two 1-inch binders (you will bring one for the first semester and the other for the second semester, so you will NOT need them at the same time).

  5. OPTIONAL, but recommended: 2 highlighters of different colors.
