About Mrs. Baker

Hello! I'm Mrs. Kim Baker and I have always wanted to teach at Richmond Grade School! This will be my fifth year teaching 5th grade at RGS. I graduated summa cum laude from Carthage College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education. I did my student teaching in 4th grade at Spring Grove Elementary and in 8th grade English/Language Arts at Nippersink Middle School. I have also taught 3rd grade and 7th grade. We moved to Illinois 20 years ago from Montana. (Yes, we do miss living in the mountains!) My three children went to Richmond Grade School and have fond memories of their time here. My children would say that one of the highlights of 5th grade was going to the Challenger Learning Center in Woodstock! Hopefully, this year we will get to experience a brand new mission created by the Challenger Learning Center. I can't wait!
