🛝 So much fun happening at Canaan Elementary!💙
Our kids are loving the new (some new to us!) playground equipment and having a blast getting outside and playing together!
We also kicked off the year with our first assembly. It was a great way to come together, celebrate our school community, and start the year strong! 🎉🙌
📚 Grammar in action! ✏️
Our second graders are using their grammar books for the very first time! They worked with partners during a fun Scoot game, moving around the room and searching for nouns. Learning grammar, working together, and having fun—all at the same time! 💙📖

Our Kindergarten family had a great first week! We learned and practiced routines, did some name work, was introduced to different centers, and had some outdoor fun! A generous former Canaan student, who plans to go into the Early Childhood field, and her mom, dropped off an amazing donation of items for our classroom! Such a blessing! This included balls so Friday each Kinder got to pick a ball and we had some fun outside with them! Then we rested in the shade and had a "rug" activity that they have been learning. I ask a question, we go around answering it...we practice speaking in a group and being good listeners when other students are sharing!

This summer, Canaan School Board member, Jeannie Franklin and her family toured Sappi with part of the administrator MSAD 54 team! It was HOT in there, but such a great experience learning more about the work happening right here in our community. Huge appreciation for the Sappi employees (including Mr. Madore) and the hard work they do every day! 👏
We had a wonderful turnout at our Kindergarten Play & Learn event, with five Canaan families joining us for a fun morning of play, stories, snacks, and getting ready for kindergarten! We were especially excited to welcome two families who are new to Canaan Elementary. It was a great opportunity for children and families to meet school staff, connect with other incoming kindergarten families, and begin building a sense of excitement and belonging before the school year begins. We’re so happy to welcome all of our new and returning Canaan students!
Incoming Kindergarten Families, join us!

Engineering Day in Second Grade!
Second grade students put their engineering skills to the test during Engineering Day by following the engineering design process: Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, and Improve.
Their challenge was to design and build a roller coaster that would allow a marble to travel as far as possible. Students worked together to brainstorm ideas, create plans, test their designs, and make improvements along the way.
The competition was fierce, and our winning team designed a roller coaster that sent their marble on an impressive 39-inch journey!
This hands-on activity encouraged creativity, teamwork, problem-solving, and perseverance while showing students that engineers often learn and improve through trial and error.
What a great day of learning and innovation in second grade! 🎢🔵👏
