Hi @miaschool1,
You can easily export your entire Canvas course to an industry-standard IMS Common Cartridge file using the Export Course Content link in the course settings page (assuming your admin allows exports). However, unfortunately it doesn't look like Google Classroom supports importing content from other Learning Management Systems, such as Canvas.
On the upside, the IMSCC file that Canvas creates is just a plain-old ZIP file containing your course content. Some of the content (such as pages, which are stored as HTML) you may be able to directly import into Google Classroom. See this similar answer for more information about Common Cartridge and what's inside the file. In the end, the common cartridge files may be best used as an archive of your school's Canvas courses while you just copy-and-paste the content you want directly into Google Classroom.
Probably not the answer you hoped for, but that's currently the sate of LMS interoperability, at least for Google Classroom.
