Welcome to 2B!
Hello Everyone!
My name is Kathy McAleer. This will be my seventh year teaching here at Glen Stewart and I am very excited to be back in the classroom. I look forward to getting to know you and all my new students! I have 4 grown children, 7 amazing grandchildren ranging in age from 21/2 to 11 years of age, a big, beautiful dog, and an orange tabby cat named Tiggs!
This first few weeks of school will focus on getting to know each other, building a sense of community, and establishing our classroom routines to give us a good foundation on which to build our learning.
I will send out a weekly update to you for every Monday morning (posting on Sunday evening with hopefully very few exceptions :)) to keep you informed of our learning and any other relevant information that I need to share with you. This will be the format used if at any point during our school year online teaching is reintroduced. The island is very lucky with respect to Covid-19, so I am very hopeful that this will NOT be the case, and our schools will continue as is!
Things will be a little different for us all this year. Working together for the benefit of our children with understanding, patience and open communication will make this 'new normal' easier for us all. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, suggestions or concerns!
Take care,
Kathy McAleer
UPDATE: September 13, 2021
With the unfortunate situation with covid outbreak in the Charlottetown family of schools and our school being closed for the next three days as of today, I will be working on preparing for online teaching in the event of a longer closure. I will notify you of any updates as I receive them. Hopefully this will be just a little bump in the road and we will be back in the classroom this week.
Our Meet the Teacher event is being held virtually at this time on Thursday, September 16th. I will provide you with more information on this as well as we navigate our way through this week.
Take care,
Kathy McAleer
