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 26

Dear Parents,
         In math this week we finished up our unit on three digit addition/subtraction and solving word problems. Some students are still struggling with this concept. Please continue to work with your child at home and I will be pulling small groups during our win time to reinforce these concepts. We next are focusing on place value up to the number 1,200.
         In reading and language we started a combined unit of research over how Communication, transportation, and recreation has changed over time. We will be learning how to decide which information is important, take notes, change our notes into good sentences, and then choose a topic to focus on as a small group research project. This will continue until after Spring Break! We continued our map skills this week by reinforcing cardinal and intermediate directions.
         In science we finished our unit on weather and began our unit on the physical characteristics and needs of plants.

*Parents and Families—this year’s main fundraiser is the Coyote Ridge Fun Run! It’s a two-week program that kicks off with a Pep Rally on 3-3-20. Families will then gather pledges for every lap your student runs (30-35 laps) at the Coyote Ridge Fun Run, which will happen on 3-12-20This year our goal is to raise $12,000 for The Leader in Me Program, and we need your help! We’ve asked the experts at Booster to power our fundraiser to make it easier, more profitable, and more fun. 

Students will also experience an amazing character theme, MINDSPARK: WILD WEST! Booster’s most exciting theme yet combines S.T.E.A.M. skills (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) with character-building. While they're teaming up with the MindSpark Kids to save Dr. Shock, our students will learn five character traits that will help strengthen themselves and our world.

Donations will go toward the Leader in Me Program and the entire two-week experience. So please help our school by getting pledges from family and friends and entering them on FUNRUN.COM. Also, all families are invited to come out and cheer on our students at the Coyote Ridge Fun Run. Thanks so much for your support!
