About Mr. Alex:​​
I am so excited to start this year and I hope that you are too! Let me begin by introducing myself. My name is Alex Bakker and I am originally from a small town in Minnesota. I attended the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay where I obtained my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education. After graduating, my wife Rachel (she teaches 6-9th grade math at ISS) and I moved to Torreon Mexico and taught for 4 years. While in Mexico we earned our Master's in Education from the State University of New York - Buffalo. This will be our third year at ISS and I am looking forward to another amazing year teaching 3rd grade!
