Welcome to my blog! My name is Beth Carpenter! I am a 2nd grade teacher at Coyote Ridge Elementary. I majored in Early Childhood Education and have taught for 22 years. I have taught grades K- 3 which gives me a unique ability to know where my second graders fit within those grades. Teaching is more than a profession to me, it is a calling. I love to help light the fire of curiosity to help all my students become lifelong learners!

Week 21

Dear Parents,
       It was a short week, but we accomplished much! In math we continued on looking at problem solving in many ways: beginning, middle , end, part/part/whole boxes, number lines, number sentences, and place value blocks. We are solving problems with three digit numbers, both addition and subtraction. On Friday, we celebrated the 100th day of school. When we were done with our work, we could play the game race to 100!
          In reading we read The Mitten and did an investigation as a class. We read the Scholastic News Frozen Hotel  and answered comprehension questions. We read some poetry and circled words that helped us visualize each poem. We then took a selection quiz about those poems.
           In Language we continued our poetry unit by writing more poems. We picked a line from our list poem and wrote a poem about that line. We then ate a Rice Krispy treat, filled out a sensory chart and wrote a poem about the treat. We will finish our poems and put them together in a book.
            In science we finished up our unit on natural and manmade resources. We did a cloze procedure with the vocabulary and took our assessment on Friday. On Thursday we worked with our Science Facilitator and used the photos we took as groups to make collages in the app Pic Collage and then joined our work in Keynote to make a presentation. We had some technical difficulty, but will see this project through to the end.
