Move your body TODAY!
My name is Coach Buck. I have had the privilege to work at Alvarado for 13 years. This is an amazing community that truly puts student's need first. I am proud to be a contributing member of our wonderful community!
Welcome everyone, new and returning students! As most of you know P.E. at Alvarado is a fun, exciting and nurturing environment where students play, exercise, learn, cooperate and enjoy life! As we start this school year from our homes this will present obvious changes and challenges, especially in the world of P.E. My goal is to create an environment where all students and families have resources, ideas and motivation to move/exercise/have fun in their home settings. I realize and deeply empathize with everyone about the current struggles and challenges in life, let alone education. Knowing that times are potentially stressful and difficult to manage on many fronts, I do not want to add any more stress to students or parents lives. This being said, the CDC suggest 60 minutes of activity per day with a multitude of benefits! Also, Coach Buck strongly encourages the whole family to move and exercise together as much as possible! I will be learning and growing about how to best support our student and families. I will have weekly scheduled P.E. times with every class. I will facilitate social/emotional check in time, a short group exercise, and most importantly activities & examples for students to have fun with when they have the time, motivation and energy. None of my content should be forced. Please support your child in a positive, fun manner. This will shift their focus, attitudes, and emotional states. Also, please emphasize SAFETY with all activities! This involves safe spaces to move, supervision for activities, and students staying within their own comfort zones while challenging them when appropriate. I look forward to an exciting new adventure together. Let's get our students moving!
