About me, Lori Rogers Baker

I began teaching in 1989/1991 as a substitute teacher. 1991/1992 I was HIRED as a kindergarten teacher. Back in the day, Kindergarten was 1/2 day and I had the afternoon bunch. I also took over two other k classes when teachers were on maternity leave. The following year, 1992/1993 I was moved to 1st grade and I was now full time. I continued in first grade for 5 years until helping to create WIldwood Elementary Multiage Program (WEMAP) in 1997. Along with Sheila Franzen, Candy Hofstad and Karen Marshall, we became WEMAP and each class was comprised of a homebase of 1st and 2nd grade students. Some years, we even had K, 1 and 2 students together! I taught in the mutlage program for the next 10 years!
