Our Canterbury students have been working hard to earn Golden Paws by meeting their classroom goals! These goals include quick transitions, active listening, cleaning up after ourselves, and using appropriate voice levels.
In March, Canterbury is focusing on Cooperation. Classrooms are revisiting the importance of respect and how it connects to working together as a team. In addition, our non-classroom teachers are awarding “golden coins” to classes that demonstrate outstanding cooperation throughout the school. Keep an eye out for the pot of gold at the end of our rainbow in the lunchroom as it fills with coins earned through teamwork and positive choices.
We wrapped up a fantastic second trimester with a Musical Glow Lunch! We are proud of our students and the way they continue to demonstrate what it means to be safe, respectful, and responsible each day at school. Their hard work and positive choices help make our Canterbury community such a wonderful place to learn and grow.

The Canterbury library has been very busy with Battle of the Books! Battle of the Books is a statewide program that allows students to read a wide range of genres and authors and participate in a competition that tests their knowledge on the books they read. Fourth and fifth grade students who participated were organized into teams of four students. Each team worked hard to read the 20 books included on the 2025-2026 Battle of the Books booklist, which they were to be tested on. Canterbury had 12 teams participate, and last month they battled it out to determine what team would represent Canterbury at the state competition. The Rad Readers came out victorious and in a special demonstration battle at an assembly also beat two teacher teams! At the assembly, four students were awarded the Literary Spirit Award for their hard work during Battle of the Books. The Rad Readers completed the state Battle of the Books exam! The library is very proud of the Rad Readers and all our Battle of the Books participants!

Canterbury's first graders have been working on persevering when something becomes difficult. They were read the book "The Magical Yet" and even made their own Magical Yets! They wrote about the things they cannot do "yet", but we will be able to do if they persevere! They also created a spinner of different strategies they can use to help them persevere.

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!
