About Me

Hello everyone! My name is Ricardo Alvarez and I am a new teacher. I am very excited and motivated to teach and learn along side everyone and to have a great experience this year. I have a very diverse back ground in instruction and education. I was an air cadet for many years as a teenager and I was given the chance to earn my glider pilot license. I was also very involved with summer survival camps. On my spare time I like to skateboard and read poetry. Recently, I joined a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu club which I am currently competing with. I went to York University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in History. Teachers college was one of the greatest experiences of my life as it has shown me that my true passion in life is to teach. I am very lucky to have been given the chance to show this enthusiasm with you all and I look forward to seeing you in the next few weeks!

FLIGHT!!!




This week we learned about flight and all the useful things humans have built that can fly! I am a glider pilot myself so have a great appreciation for planes and different aircrafts. Instead of just talking and reading about how things fly I found a special interactive video that you can all watch. 

By clicking here you can explore Bernoulli's principle of lift and learned more in depth how air moves across a surface to create lift. Enjoy!!!
