March 8
Hi Parents,
It's winter carnival week here at GSP! So many fun activities planned- I'll include a list of all the fun!
Parent/Teacher interviews
It was wonderful seeing you all and chatting with you about your children. Thanks so much 😀
Early Closure forms
The Office is sending home a new "early closure form". I know our forms are up-to-date but you never know... something may have changed. Thanks so much for filling the blue form out again and sending it back to school. 🙂
Class goals:
We'll just keep practicing our walking- with March Break around the corner... it might be all be can do! Hahaha
Medication Administration at School
We have seen a recent influx of students who require medication administration at school. We would ask that if a child is taking medication to please contact the main office before sending it in. The school has forms that are required to be completed by both parents and the physician.
Chocolate Bar Bingo
The GSP Home and School will be hosting a Chocolate Bar Bingo Night on April 2nd. You can purchase your tickets online on our hot lunch website for this event. Stay tuned for more information.
Storms
Let's chat about storms. Glen Stewart is part of the Charlottetown Family of schools. So if there is some inclement weather predicted, you may hear that the Charlottetown family of schools is on a delay or that they are closed for the day.
In the case of school ever being closed during the day, I will follow along with your child's early closure plan from September. ❄️😀
This week....
LA
So far, we have looked at the letters " i, o, u, a, m, l,v, n, r,e,f,b,s,z,j,t and p".
We say the letter name, then the word (it matches the picture on our letter card), then we make the sound of the letter while doing the action. These steps are part of a process to train our brains to make deeper connections. I love this so much! ♥️
And we're continuing to practice printing our names ☺️
Sight words - we're looking at the first sound in a word and understanding the meaning of the word
** bonjour (hello)-
** voici (here- as in Here's your book.)
** un (one or a..- as in Here is one candy or a candy)
**a (as in the verb "has"- il a un chat- he has a cat)
**new-- c'est ( it is)
**new--la (the... goes with a feminine noun- like "la fille- the girl")
**new--ma (my... goes along with a feminine noun- like "ma maison- my house")
**new--il (he... subject-(" Il est un garçon- He is a boy")
MATH--
We are counting and counting! We have been busy counting to 20 and now we're moving on to 30.
We're continuing to practice printing numbers to 10.
We're also looking at the idea of making sets with numbers to 10.
We are looking at identifying different arrangements of objects and recognizing them at first glance- with numbers to 10. So let's say, seeing the #2 on a die or in a ten frame or simply a picture with 2 objects.
new- We'll be looking at sets of objects and figuring out which has has more (plus)/ which set has less (moins)/or are they the same? And how do we know? And can we create sets showing more, less, and equal amounts?
ODDS and ENDS
We are in need of a 2nd pair of mittens! And a 2nd pair of socks! hahaha
If they're wool mittens, they get wet at 1st recess and we'd love to have another dry pair that your child can put on at 2nd recess. Our socks get wet when we're taking our boots off in the hallway and another pair would be perfect!
Cold fingers and toes thank you! ❄️❄️❄️
**Check out the upcoming dates to find out what's happening here at GSP!

So our song book is ready! There is a QR code at the top to help with singing - 🥰
Links to the songs that don't work are coming. Sorry for the delay!
As we learn new songs, I will send them home and maybe ask you to put them into the duotang? The duotang doesn't have to come to school but please continue to send along the pochette (homework bag) every day. Thanks !
What to do with these songs? Well, I'm thinking --sing. Hahaha but we can do more. You can point at individual letters and ask your child to name the letter, or you can ask your child to find a certain letter.
Most of our songs are in the songbook but some will only be online. I'll post the online songs here.

If you are sending in money, please put the money in a ziplock bag with your child's name on it and how much money they have. Money doesn't mean as much to little people and can get easily misplaced! Hahaha

February 22
Hi Parents,
Wow! February is flying by so fast! I am having so much fun with your children- I kind of want time to slow down a little! Hahaha
We had a wonderful week last week- from voting for our favourite "olympic door", and valentine's day, and then finishing off with winter wellness day along with Team Canada winning the hockey game on Friday! Wowzers!
This week is going to be just as great but maybe a wee bit calmer! 😉
new- Parent/Teacher interviews
The parent/teacher interview booking site goes open Tuesday morning. When you have a minute, please jump online and book an interview time for your child. 2nd term interviews are so important- they're kind of the "meat" in the "sandwich" that is the whole year! Hahaha
And I have lots of wonderful things to say! 🙂
Class goals:
So... hahaha. The walking quietly in the hall is not going so well. We're switching our methods and going back to our "ninja walker"- that is, we all walk quietly.... and I find the quietest walker and they get a special sticker. 😀
UPDATE-- walking is going much better in the hallway with our "ninja walker" (hahaha). Who will be the quietest friends this week? We'll see....!

Hi Parents,
How are you? Happy Valentine's Day to you all! I hope you're all having a lovely Islander weekend!
VALENTINE'S DAY PARTY
The party is still on! 😀🥳 We'll do all our fun celebrating on Tuesday! It's going to be great!
*** I do have a BIG favour to ask though! I am not sure what happened to my brain last week but I forgot to mention 2 very special teachers who work a lot with our class! If you still have any Valentine's Day cards left, could you please make two more? Hahaha They come in and spend lots of time with us- Mme MacDonald (Jenn MacDonald) and Mme Claudie (our French monitor). They come in and play games with us and help us out. They are great friends to us and I can't believe I forgot to mention them! Thanks so so much 💕💖
Cool Kids Care Club
The “Cool Kids Care Club” are fundraising for the PEI Special Olympics Chapter. To wrap up our Winter Olympics theme on February 20, students are invited to wear a Sports Jersey or their favourite team colours to school. We will be collecting donations for Special Olympics on this day. Students can bring their donations to their teachers and our Cool Kids will collect them throughout the day. We can have some fun dressing up for the Olympics and fundraise for a good cause! Thank you for your help!

Hi Parents,
How are you? I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!
We had a wonderful "kick-off" assembly for the Olympics Friday morning. It was so fun! We all had little flags and lots of spirit!
Class goals:
Still working on walking in the halls. Hahaha We'll get there! :)🙃
Assessments
The Department of Education has asked Kindergarten teachers to see how much children are learning about letters after we have studied 10 letters. I started my assessments last week and will continue for another week or so. I ask them to tell me all letters of the alplhabet and their sounds. I obviously don't expect them to know all the letters or all the sounds but it's a place to start and I'm always curious about the 10 letters we've studied. Do they know the letter name, word, action and sound? We have worked on letters : a b e f i l m n o r s u v - upper and lower case.

So I don't send home homework- we work so hard (in a 2nd language too) all day so our work stays here.
However, it is often fun (and helpful) to look over letters, words and sentence structures (all of which we find in songs).
So I am putting together a song book to send home with our songs. However, while we are waiting for the songbook...
We are working on a winter clothing song- it's on youtube.
(I've "caught" some of the children singing it in the hallways as we are getting ready to go outside. SO ADORABLE hahaha)

Hi Parents,
Brrr! I hope you are all staying warm and cozy this weekend! We have some fun activity planned for this week- with 2 great, school-wide activities planned.
Class goals:
So we have been working on walking quietly in the hallway but we haven't yet earned all the snowman pieces. It was a bit harder to walk quietly this week. 🤪 We have a fun team building reward waiting so we'll keep trying our best!
School-wide activies
We have some fun activities on the go! It's Family Literacy week here at Glen Stewart so Wednesday is "Dress as your favourite character from a book" and Friday is "PJ day". All activities are always only if your child wants to participate. And please don't go buy anything- hahaha. If there is a costume at home- great. Or maybe your child borrows dad's shirt! hahaha-- or a bit of makeup. It's meant to be fun and stress-free for you. (If you need more information, please send me an email or I believe Vanessa Dunn has included information about these days in previous Friday emails.)
Assessments
The Department of Education has asked Kindergarten teachers to see how much children are learning about letters after we have studied 10 letters. I started my assessments last week and will continue for another week or so. I ask them to tell me all letters of the alplhabet and their sounds. I obviously don't expect them to know all the letters or all the sounds but it's a place to start and I'm always curious about the 10 letters we've studied. Do they know the letter name, word, action and sound? We have worked on letters : a b e f i l m n o r s u v - upper and lower case.
Storms
Let's chat about storms. Glen Stewart is part of the Charlottetown Family of schools. So if there is some inclement weather predicted, you may hear that the Charlottetown family of schools is on a delay or that they are closed for the day.
In the case of school ever being closed during the day, I will follow along with your child's early closure plan from September. If you're wondering what you may have put down for that... I totally get it. It was a while ago! Hahaha
Just send me an email and I'll tell you what the plan says. ❄️😀
This week....
LA
So far, we have looked at the letters " i, o, u, a, m, l,v, n, r,e,f,b, and s".
We say the letter name, then the word (it matches the picture on our letter card), then we make the sound of the letter while doing the action. These steps are part of a process to train our brains to make deeper connections. I love this so much! ♥️
We're chatting about winter clothes and the right way to get dressed for outside.
And we're continuing to practice printing our names ☺️
Sight words - we're looking at the first sound in a word and understanding the meaning of the word
** bonjour (hello)-
** voici (here- as in Here's your book.)
** un (one or a..- as in Here is one candy or a candy)
new **a (as in the verb "has"- il a un chat- he has a cat)
MATH--
We are counting and counting! We have been busy counting to 10 and now we're moving on to 20.
We're continuing to practice printing numbers to 10.
We are looking at identifying different arrangements of objects and recognizing them at first glance- with numbers to 5. So let's say, seeing the #2 on a die or in a ten frame or simply a picture with 2 objects.
We're also looking at the idea of making sets with numbers to 10.
new- And we're working on families of numbers to 5 (as in 2+0/ 1+1 belong to the family of 2)
ODDS and ENDS
We are in need of a 2nd pair of mittens! And a 2nd pair of socks! hahaha
If they're wool mittens, they get wet at 1st recess and we'd love to have another dry pair that your child can put on at 2nd recess. Our socks get wet when we're taking our boots off in the hallway and another pair would be perfect!
Cold fingers and toes thank you! ❄️❄️❄️

WORK AT HOME (if you're interested...)-- I'm busy working on this project and it should be ready soon! 😀
So I don't send home homework- we work so hard (in a 2nd language too) all day so our work stays here.
However, it is often fun (and helpful) to look over letters, words and sentence structures (all of which we find in songs).
So I am putting together a song book to send home with our songs. However, while we are waiting for the songbook...
We are working on a winter clothing song- it's on youtube.
(I've "caught" some of the children singing it in the hallways as we are getting ready to go outside. SO ADORABLE hahaha)

Hi Parents,
We had a wonderful week last week- despite having 2 indoor recess days! hahaha
Class goals:
We have been working hard on walking quietly in the hallway and we earned all the pieces of our snowman! Woohoo! Our class reward was to eat lunch with a friend(s) and it was SO fun! We'll still work on walking in the hallway this week, and it may be a bit harder to earn those pieces. But we can do it! :) And we'll have another fun team reward waiting 😀

Hi Parents,
Happy 2026!
Oh, it's so great to be back! We had a wonderful first week back! We are all settling back into our routines and it's great to be together again!
I hope you all had a lovely holiday- just perfect for you and your families.
On another note.... the children did a fantastic job this week, dressing themselves for going outside. WOW! I am sooo impressed! Thank you for helping us out with winter clothing!
Class goals:
We are working on walking quietly and safely in the hallway. To help us accomplish our goal, we are building a snowman. hahaha There are 11 pieces to our snowman (we are building him on our board in class). When we walk successfully in the hall, we earn a new piece. When he is all assembled, we will be so proud of ourselves! And our reward is to eat lunch beside a friend in class. How fun is that? Wish us luck!

OT videos
We have a new OT video:
Dear Kindergarten parents!
The next few weeks, the videos are all about Co-Regulation! Co-regulation is what happens when a caregiver (parent/grandparent) regulates a child's behaviour and feelings through such things as soothing words, adjusting their tone of voice, facial expressions, body language, and gestures. Please watch the first two videos this week!
Co-Regulation (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo7bhAWEYf8&t=43s
Co-Regulation (Part 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FliQfEGKWKo&t=36s
As always, if you have any questions, please let me know.

Hi Parents,
It's our last week together for 2025! The magic is in the air....
I just wanted to take a minute and wish you all a lovely holiday! I hope the next few weeks are full of fun, magic, visits with family and friends and moments to remember.
Joyeux Noël and Bonne Année! See you all in 2026🎉

**Christmas
Our concert is tomorrow! Hahaha
We were working hard to get everything done! ❄️
So Tuesday-
** Our 1st concert is at 11am
** Our 2nd concert is at 4:30pm
We have special headbands to wear to match our songs so please feel free to have your child wear whatever they want. 😀
Doors open around 4pm and I'll be in our classroom- so you can bring your child down. May I bother you and ask that your child be here by 4:15pm? Amazing!
I believe the idea is that after our class performs, we head back to the classroom. When the late afternoon concert is over, you can come on down! I have a little candy cane treat for all my friends! 🍭
BREAKING NEWS-- I know where where we'll be on the stage! When you enter the gym, head to the left side. Our class stands on the left side of the stage, the other K class stands on the right.
And- the concert is ADORABLE. 🥰
Bowling
So we're off bowling on Thursday. I have never gone bowling with 18 little friends before. Hahaha
It's going to be great!
If you haven't already, could you please send along $9 and your child's permission form? Thanks so much 😀
Food Drive
So we're collecting dry food for the Holidays. And the class that collects the most gets a prize. And of course, the Food Bank is the real winner in this competition. Thanks so much for helping us out.

Hi Parents,
Wow! What a long weekend! I miss all my little friends! I hope you are all having a good one!
OT videos
Our school's occupational therapist is sending along video #6 for Kindergarten readiness.
I'm posting it here-- it's like "one stop shopping" Hahaha
Week 6
Dear Kindergarten parents!
This week I have included 3 videos that all work on fine motor skills. Fine motor skills are the ability to move your fingers using the small muscles in your hands and wrists. We rely on these skills to do important tasks in school, at home and in everyday life. These small movements come so naturally to most people that we usually don't think about them. But fine motor skills are complex. These 3 videos work on different fine motor skills, but all are equally important. There are Fun activities in each video to do with your children!

Have a great rest of your week!!
Now.... back to KF 😀
Let's see what's going on this week!
This week....
LA
We didn't have a letter last week so we're busy reviewing all the letters studied so far.
So far, we have looked at the letters " i, o, u, a, m, l and v".
We say the letter name, then the word (it matches the picture on our letter card), then we make the sound of the letter while doing the action. These steps are part of a process to train our brains to make deeper connections. I love this so much! ♥️
We're also working on some school vocabulary, colours and songs.
And we're continuing to practice printing our names ☺️
MATH
We are counting to 5 and showing that we understand what each number means and we are practicing making each number- while holding our pencil the proper way. Not always so easy 😄
We're working on 2 and 3 colour patterns along with the idea that patterns don't have to be with colours. We can use movements to show patterns as well as sounds. It's so fun!

Hi Parents,
Happy weekend! I hope you all had so much fun on Halloween!
We had a wonderful time here on Friday! I even heard "this is the best day of my life" a few times! High praise for sure! Hahaha
A huge thank you to everyone for all the fabulous treats! We were so spoiled! I hope you don't mind, we ate a few things and then I sent home a bunch too- only because I didn't want anyone to go home with an upset tummy!
Thanks again for helping us have a great day!

Hi Parents,
Wow! Here we are- our last week of October! And it's Halloween week! It's going to be very exciting!
OT videos
Our school's occupational therapist has been sending along some videos for Kindergarten readiness.
I will be sending along 2 videos this week- one slipped by me last week! 🙃
Thanks- 😀
Let's talk Hallowe'en!
Halloween is so exciting at school. I think it's because we celebrate with our friends! We have some ideas to help us prepare for a fabulous day:
** your child can wear/bring their costume and maybe have a costume that just goes over clothes (if possible but no worries)
**we ask that makeup be put on at home- we just don't have the space in the washrooms to put it on
**we also ask that masks as well as weapons (like lasers, swords) please stay home
Hallowe'en party
I will be getting a treat and a drink for the class-- however, we never say no to extra treats coming in! 😀
We don't have any allergies in class but just a little reminder that overall, we are a nut/peanut free school
There are 18 little friends in class (and one Madame) hahaha

Hi Parents,
Happy weekend! I hope you are all having a lovely one.
OT videos
Our school's occupational therapist has been sending along some videos for Kindergarten readiness. I love the idea of practicing proper pencil grip. We do it in school too- if you ever had a free moment (hahaha), would you mind practicing how to hold a pencil with your child? We have some little friends who are finding it a bit challenging. And not just the holding the pencil part, but actually printing something on a page- a letter, a number, their name, draw a circle. It doesn't matter- it's the follow through that's also important.
Thanks- 😀
Picture Retake Day: Our picture retake day is happening on Thursday, October 23. If you would like your child to have their photo taken on this day, please send an email to your child’s homeroom teacher so they are aware. A reminder that the deadline for free shipping to the school for picture orders is 14 days after picture day - October 22.

Hi Parents,

We just finished another full week together. I'm so delighted with all your children. The routines are starting, they're saying a few words in French, and I think we're all having so much fun!
Terry Fox Walk
This week students and staff participated in the Terry Fox Walk/Run around our playground in memory of Terry Fox. Thank you to those who have sent in donations for this great cause! We are still tallying the total, but we are confident we have reached our goal of raising $1000 for cancer research!
