P.E. Press

Welcome back Gecko families! In PE, students will participate in a variety of activities in accordance with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. We look forward to teaching your child many movement skills along with cooperation and good sportsmanship. Please help your child be prepared for active participation in both P.E. and recess by wearing athletic shoes. Your student’s P.E. days will not always fall on the same days of the week, so it is very important that your child wears comfortable clothing and athletic shoes EVERY DAY!

PE will be taught by Ms. Garcia, Coach Rose, and Mr. Victor again this year.

Ms. Garcia is an Austin native, AISD, and St. Edward’s University graduate. This is her 7th year teaching PE at Gullett. When she’s not teaching, Ms. Garcia loves spending time with her daughter Sophia (10 months old) and husband Ruben. She also enjoys playing soccer and watching movies while relaxing at home!

Coach Rose has been teaching elementary school physical education for 20 years and this is her 3rd year here at Gullett. When she’s not teaching young people, she also enjoys sharing her passion for fitness with adults, teaching group fitness classes at Lifetime. In her spare time she enjoys hiking, paddle boarding, doing yoga and spending time with her family and friends.

Mr. Victor was born in Zitacuaro, a city located in the State of Michoacan in Mexico. He migrated to San Jose California at age 20. Moved to Austin and has been here for 5 years now. This is his 3rd year teaching PE at Gullett. Mr. Victor coaches his son's soccer team.

What we are learning

We are currently in our cooperation unit where students will review and practice teamwork and good sportsmanship.
