CAES Fun Run
We had our Fun Run on Friday, and had a
blast. If you haven’t made a donation
already, please consider using the link below.
All donations must be made by Friday, October 26. As of Sunday, our class has given $716. 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.
Book Fair Volunteers
The
PTA is in need of volunteers for the Book fair.
The book fair is from October 22 - 30. If you are interested in
helping, please contact Sarah Moore (sbmoore937@gmail.com).
Zoo Field Trip
The first grade will
take a field trip to the Norfolk Zoo on Thursday, November 9. The cost of the trip is free for all
students. A permission slip was sent
home last week. If you have not signed
and returned the permission slip, please do so as soon as possible.
Animal Research Lab
This week we will
begin our first research lab of the year, which is all about animals. Students will select an animal that they are
interested in studying in depth for the next 8 weeks. As a class, we will learn to research answers
to questions about each animal including the physical characteristics, life
cycle, and other aspects of our animals.
Look for more information coming home in reading folders this week.
Blacktop Resurfacing
First grade is
investigating possible projects for the grade to complete this year. One of the ideas we have is to create a more
inviting blacktop area. If anyone has
connections to someone or a company that could donate their services to
resurface the blacktop, please let me know.
