Nancy Edwards is the fifth grade teacher. Mrs. Edwards decided to become a teacher because she has always liked to work with children. She began her career as a Special Education teacher in North Stratford, NH in 1977. After working in the Stratford School for six years, she became the Special Education teacher in the Canaan Schools. When a fifth grade position became available in 1985, she switched to become a classroom teacher. She has taught fifth graders in Canaan ever since.

"One of the best things about being a teacher is to watch a child discover," she says. Another pleasure of teaching is to learn along with the children as each child beings his/her own perspective to the learning tasks.

Mrs. Edwards loves to read and loves to share new literature with her class. She also loves to teach fractions to her class.
