Sarah Barker
Hello, my name is Sarah Barker! I was born and raised in Fresno, CA. I attended Fresno City College for two years in the honors program before transferring to CSU Chico last fall. I’ve loved Chico from the minute I stepped on campus for orientation! I enjoy being involved in our campus and community. I’m currently a Resident Advisor in University Village and I’m loving working with older students. In my free time, I enjoy thrifting, hiking, naps and traveling.
I’ve always been good with children, but it wasn’t until I volunteered in a kindergarten classroom that I considered teaching. I was lucky to be an after school program tutor for some awesome fourth graders and I now know what grade I want to teach! I plan to teach at the elementary school level and eventually, earn my Master’s and PhD so I can work in higher education.
Here’s my riddle:
No tricky stepmother and promised dress,
No birds and doves helping to pick up a lentil mess.
No signs of “Basin of Water” or “Broken Ladle” in which this woman can dwell,
Though this princess once wore animal skin as well.

Hey Sarah,
I have only worked in an kindergarten classroom and I really enjoyed it so I am planning on working with younger grades. What did you enjoy about working with fourth graders? I really liked your riddle.
Looking forward to being your blogging buddy!

Totally just realized I hadn’t replied. This whole blogging format is new to me, but it’s interesting. I really like fourth grade because I think the students are fairly mature but still young enough to enjoy crafts and things, they don’t think they’re “too cool” yet.
