🎃 Practicing our core value of gratitude! ❤️ Throughout November, students will add to our Gratitude Pumpkin each school day by sharing something they’re thankful for. 🍂
🚦 Red Light, Green Light! A little fun while we wait for the bus! Our students are making the most of bus recess!
Halloween centers for PreK–1 were a hit! 🎃👻 Just look at these smiling faces! Fun crafts, activities, and good eats made for a frightfully fun time! 🧡🖤
Our PreK–1 students had a spooktacular time at our Halloween pattern block stations! 👻🎃 Students matched different shapes to complete Halloween-themed designs and then practiced counting how many of each shape they used. We wrapped up the station with a little yoga to calm our bodies, reset, and get ready for the next rotation! A little math, movement, and Halloween fun! 🧡

When you’re a small school with a small staff, Special Guest Lunch Day means ALL hands on deck! 😂 You never know where you’ll find someone helping out!
One of my favorite moments? A kindergartener was a little concerned that Mrs. Madore might have been the one cooking lunch! 🤣 Don’t worry, friends, I was just lending a hand! Loriann is the master chef around here! ❤️

📚 We did it! Our students reached their fundraiser goal and earned a Favorite Character Day! 🎉
Students can dress as their favorite book, TV, or movie character on Friday, October 30th. Keep it simple—a cowboy hat and boots, an outfit inspired by Bluey, or a fancy princess dress are all great options!
Please leave masks, props, and elaborate Halloween costumes at home so they don’t get lost or damaged during the school day. We can’t wait to see everyone’s creativity! 😊

Our first graders are learning what it means to be a leader! As part of our core value of Integrity, students listened to *Pig the Pug* read-alouds and talked about what makes a good leader. They explored the importance of being kind, respectful, responsible, fair, and telling the truth.
Students even received their own “Vote for the Future” shirts! 👕 We love seeing our students learn that integrity means doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. These are lifelong lessons that help grow the leaders of tomorrow!
🧸 Our Play and Learns are starting up again! Join us on Saturday, November 7th, from 10–11 AM at Canaan Elementary School.

🚦 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!
