What's happening in our hive.
This week in third-grade...
Reading- We have finished our third reading unit of the year and are beginning our unit on reading to learn. Students will study non-fiction text features, practice retelling facts they've collected in their reading, and follow their own interests as they choose non-fiction texts to read.
Writing- Students are wrapping up their unit on writing fairy tales. The next unit will be informational writing. This will complement our reading unit, described above.

Winter Dance
Please note that if your child attends the dance you will not be able to collect them until the end of the dance at 4:00 pm. We also ask that, for the safety of students and to ease dismissal, that you remain in your car in the carpool line. Please do not wait at the gym door for your child.
The Claxton PTO is also looking for donations of food, drinks, and money as well as volunteers to help with the 3rd-5th grade dance on January 31st. Dances generally have great attendance and proceeds benefit field trip funds. You can sign up to send in snacks or for a variety of jobs here. we are grateful for your support!
