🚦 Welcome to Alphabet Avenue at Canaan Elementary School!
Our new Alphabet Avenue board is located in the school entryway, and we’ll be changing out the magnets throughout the year to keep learning fresh and fun! Right now, students are sorting magnets into nouns, adjectives, and verbs. What a fun way to build vocabulary and practice parts of speech as they come and go each day!

⚽💪 Teamwork makes the dream work at CES! 💙
When our students wanted to play soccer, they realized they needed soccer goals. Mrs. Whittemore suggested they might be able to move them, and the students didn’t hesitate to jump in and get the job done! 🙌
We love seeing our students take initiative, work together, and figure things out as a team. Sometimes the best lessons happen outside the classroom! 💙

🚒🔥 **Fire Safety Week at Canaan Elementary School!** 🔥🚒
We had a great week learning all about fire safety! Fire Chief Charlie Worcester kicked things off by visiting each classroom for a special fire safety read-aloud. Students also had the opportunity to practice navigating a smoke-filled home in the smoke house and take a walk to the fire station for a tour and a chance to climb inside a REAL fire truck! 🚒
A HUGE thank-you to Chief Charlie Worcester and the entire Canaan Fire Department for making this week happen and for all the hard work they do to keep our community safe. We appreciate you more than you know!
First responders ROCK!

Fluency practice in first grade!
Mrs. Bellerose’s students were hard at work during independent reading, reading books at their instructional level and practicing accurate, smooth, and expressive reading. Using whisper phones gives students the chance to hear themselves read, notice how their reading sounds, and build automaticity with words they’ve worked hard to decode. These little readers are putting in the work and growing every day! ❤️

On Friday, we celebrated Bus Driver Appreciation Day! 🚌💙 Our students made cards for our amazing bus drivers, Dave, Larry, and Marcel and we gave them goodie bags filled with some of their favorite treats and a Dunkin’ gift card.
Everyone knows a good bus driver runs on coffee! ☕️😂 We are so thankful for all they do to safely get our students to and from school each day!

🐦 Learning in Second Grade! 🧮
Our second graders have been learning about animal classification in science. Today, they focused on what birds have in common and what makes them birds.
In math, they played a game called “How Close?” Students picked five single-digit cards and then had to choose three that would get them as close to 20 as possible without going over. There was A LOT of strategy involved!
We also worked on finding our “friends of 10” to help make adding three numbers together easier. It’s always more fun when we can sneak some math practice into a game! ❤️
