New Month, New Units

Today was a big day in room 13 as we started three new units for the month of March!  This morning we started our weather unit by talking about a time when we were caught in severe weather.  Some students shared stories about vacations in snowy New York or just being at home in rainy Portland.  As a class we created a poster of all our weather stories.  In math we introduced multiplication and the concept

our weather poster

of using base ten blocks and units to add up to a set sum in different ways.  We will finish the day with our final new unit, All About stories.  This unit introduces students to the organization and structure of an informational piece of writing.  Students will soon be writing their own All About stories!
