*CAES Fun Run
The PTA is organizing this year’s Fun Run, which will take place on Friday, October 19th. This will be CAES’ major fundraiser for the school year. Our goal is for each child to raise $65.
Our goal is for each child to raise $65. The best part about this fundraiser is that the majority of the money donated goes directly back into our classrooms. For more information please go to the site listed below.
Where’s our name on the leader’s board for CAES FUN RUN? We have not raised any money.
Looking ahead at our SOLS for the week:
Reading: SOLs: 2.8e, h, 2.12, 2.13 : Ingredients of narratives: story elements such as character, setting, plot/events
Reading homework starts Monday, October 8th. It will be logged the same as last year, and the expectation is that students read 30 minutes. Also, please have them log in two steps and place your signature beside it. On a daily basis, we should have 4 steps. The time may be broken into intervals
*Book Buddy Bags
Beginning tonight, your child will begin bringing home 2 books from school to each night to read. These books will be in your child’s Book Buddy Bag. Please help your child to return their books each day.
*Reading Log
Each night it is the expectation that your child will read 30 minutes, which will account for 2 steps in their reading log. Your child’s reading log is located in his/her Reading Folder. Students have been logging steps in their Reading Folder since the first day of school, and are very familiar with the procedure.
Social Studies:We will be working on the rivers and Mountains in the United States: Rio Grande, Mississippi River, the James River, Appalachian Mountains, and Rocky Mountains. We will be taking a practice test on the continents on Wednesday and the test on Friday on the oceans and continents. They need to be able to identify them on a blank map with a word bank. All maps to study should will be located in their SS in.

We are finishing PALS testing this week. PALS testing tests students’ instructional reading level, whereas the leveled reading from ARC (American Reading Company) tests students independent reading level. PALS testing will be completed on October 12th.
Fall conferences will begin next week. I have many days and many time slots open. If you should not see a day or time that works for you, please message me and we can try to work out another time. I want to meet with each parent so I can share reading levels and testing information, as well as progress in math. The students will come up with an academic goal and a GREAT/GRIT goal. The sign up sheet is on Bloomz.
ALSO, CAES FUN RUN is up and running. Please consider donating to this worthwhile cause. The majority of the money will come back to the school, especially the teachers to purchase new flexible seating, new classroom rugs, new leveled books, and etc….
