Welcome Back!!!

Dear Chargers,

I cannot begin to express the joy I have at inviting our children back to Arete!!!  I hope you all had a fun filled summer and are excited to get back to school.

My name is Coach Rubino and I am a returning Archway Arete PE teacher for 2nd - 5th grade.  I am going on to my 6th year with Great Hearts Academies.  I also coach Girls Varsity Soccer for Arete Prep.  I studied Health Promotion and received a Bachelor of Science in Education at Auburn University where I played soccer all four years.

I have so many things to teach your youth about movement and physical activity.  I look forward to a fun filled year in Physical Education and teaching your children so many wonderful things!

Sincerely,

Coach Rubino

Finishing our basketball unit

We are just finishing up our basketball unit and I know my students have taken so much from it.
They worked on different types of passing, shooting and being a team player.  We are finishing up our basketball tournament now and the children look great!  They are dribbling without double dribbling, dribbling without walking or traveling and passing the ball correctly.  I am so proud of my students.

On Wednesday we had a special day and had the 1st graders come in to class while my 4th graders mentored them.  Each student had to shake each others hands properly and firmly while looking each other in the eyes and welcoming the 1st graders into our class. Then they encouraged the 1st graders to play well, it was a great day!!!
