Second graders have been learning about Ancient Asian Civilizations in early fall. They learned about ancient India and how civilizations began there along the Indus River. Students also learned about the Indian holiday Diwali. Students wrote about Diwali and decorated their own dia (candle holder), a traditional decoration for Diwali.

Canterbury First Graders participated in the Fable Olympics to celebrate the culmination of their first Knowledge unit. They participated in different activities and games based on the many fables and folktales they read throughout the unit. Students took part in a "Golden Egg" race, ran relays as a "Sheep in Wolf clothing", balanced pails on their head just like "The Maid and the Milk Pail," threw spiders in a web for "Anansi", followed the directions on a weather vane in honor of "Medio Polito", and ran through McGregor's garden as bunnies! Everyone had a wonderful time -- reading and celebrating what they learned!

Canterbury students have been "dotting up” the Art Room in late September! Every student has created at least one dot—many created more—and they are now proudly displayed in the halls as our collection continues to grow. Projects included creating fall trees by stamping multicolored leaves with bingo daubers, creating bright collages using sponge-dot stamping, designing plastic dots to hang from the ceiling while practicing pattern-making and line work with colored Sharpies, tie-dying dots using spray techniques, and exploring the work of Georges Seurat and practiced the pointillism technique with markers—creating “dots or not dots.” #LearnGrowEngageGreendale #CultivatingExcellence

Third grade students at Canterbury celebrated the end of their first ELA unit of the year in style! After learning about “Classic Tales”, students attended a tea party where they enjoyed refreshments, read each other’s paragraphs on themes from “The Wind in the Willows”, and had a chance to disguise Toad, a favorite character from the story. This celebration was also combined with an annual tie-dye event, where students create unique shirts to wear throughout the year!

Fourth grade students at Canterbury are learning about using sensory details in narrative writing during ELA. They read a narrative story about a girl who ate a guava. Since many of the students never tried one before, we all tried guava and used sensory details to write about our experience. Overall, the students really liked them!

Your Canterbury PTO hopes to see you all after school today 9/2 on the freshly installed new playground on the west side of the building (by the kindergarten/1st grade classrooms)!!
We'll have popsicles for the kiddos to enjoy while "monkeying" around! We worked so hard last year to raise the funds to get this playground installed and are beyond grateful to the crew who worked tirelessly to get us up and running for DAY ONE!! Let's CELEBRATE!!
(Pictured are the popsicles that will be served - if your student has any food allergies please be sure to check the ingredients list)

Canterbury Families!
We are so thrilled and grateful that the playground we worked so hard to build is in EARLY!!!
As many may have seen at yesterday's Meet-Your-Teacher event, we were ahead of schedule and the playground is ready for our kiddos to enjoy starting Day 1 of our new school year!
As a Thank You to everyone involved in the process the Canterbury PTO would like to welcome everyone to a celebration of our hard work and to enjoy a "Popsicles on the Playground" after our first day of school, 9/2/2025.
Similar to the two events last year: we'll be set up right after school and will be hanging out until about 5p (or whenever the popsicles melt!).
Hope to see you there!
