In Reading class, students across all grade levels have been working hard and making great progress! Our younger students have been focusing on learning letter sounds and practicing writing letters and simple words. In the upper grades, students have been studying different word patterns and syllable types to strengthen their reading and spelling skills. We’ve also been setting fun goals, practicing with drills, and keeping learning fun along the way. Across all grades, students continue to work on those tricky high-frequency sight words or "heart words" that appear often in everyday reading. It’s been wonderful to see their growth and enthusiasm!

Before Winter Break, our fifth graders finished their ELA Unit on Don Quixote. They really enjoyed learning all about Don Quixote's silly adventures with Sancho Panza. Each day, they participated in a "knighting ceremony" where students got "knighted" when they showed good behavior and participated during class. They also wrote an end-of-the-unit essay on whether or not Don Quixote's good intentions justify his actions throughout the story. They had to come up with a thesis statement, and give reasons and evidence to support their thinking. They really enjoyed their learning!

You may have noticed something new on the wall above the "buddy bench" at Canterbury Elementary on the west side of the building!
We are so appreciative to all of our "Founders of Fun" and are thrilled to be able to showcase the contributions made for this playground project!
We were able to raise these funds in a remarkable nine month period! With help from our playground vendor as well as our Greendale School District grounds team, we were able to make this dream a reality by the start of this school year!
THANK YOU to everyone involved with this incredible project. We are so thrilled to hear our students play, learn, and grow on this new playground equipment!!

Canterbury’s First Lego League Team, The Brainy Bunch, has been working hard to prepare to compete in all of the stages of a Lego League tournament. One task they have to accomplish is identifying a problem related to the year’s theme and coming up with an innovative solution. This year’s theme is Archeology and the team focused on keeping archeologists safer in the field. They also worked together to design, build, and code a Lego robot that can accomplish missions on this year’s game table. Great work, Panthers!

Our fourth graders are using many tools to explore the concepts of multiplication and division. They used money and tiles to deepen their understanding of the relationship – even when there are remainders! #LearnGrowEngageGreendale #CultivatingExcellence
