I love seeing this kind of focused thinking in 2nd grade. 💛
Today, students were working on a phonics picture sort, really listening for the difference in beginning, middle, and ending sounds of two pictures. They said each word slowly, stretched the sounds, and had to decide exactly where the change happened before placing their picture. That careful listening and sound work is what builds strong readers.
It may look simple, but this is the foundation. Proud of the effort and concentration happening during literacy time! 📚✨

Mrs. Bellerose’s first graders roped in great behavior and hard work to earn a rootin’ tootin’ Cowboy & Cowgirl Valentine’s Party! Watching her lasso her little cowpokes was the perfect way to celebrate a class that always wrangles up kindness, effort, and heart. 💕🐴
Way to go, first grade!

Using our fundraising funds, we recently purchased sleds for recess time. Students (and staff!) had a blast using the sleds. Everyone did a great job taking turns and being safe.

We had a wonderful time at our first annual Gingerbread & Giggles Decorating Party! This new community event replaced our traditional Santa’s Breakfast, and it was a huge success. Families received everything they needed to create their own gingerbread houses, enjoyed gingerbread men cookies and milk, and spent time visiting with Santa and Ginger. Each family went home with their completed gingerbread house and a Gingerbread Man book to enjoy together. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this event so special.







It's Christmas Spirit Week next week!

Congratulations to Canaan's first Community Champion of the year, Mr Larry!
As Larry always says, he does it for the kids. He truly enjoys being around our students and takes pride in keeping our school looking its best for them. Larry balances his time between custodial duties and driving the bus—certainly not an easy schedule—but he makes it work with dedication and a smile. We’re grateful for all he does; Larry is an essential part of the Canaan Elementary community.
Thank you for all you do, Mr Larry!
