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 10

 Dear Parents,

         This week we continued working on two digit subtraction. We added writing our own word problems and adding to check. Thank you for all your support with this difficult skill. We review on Monday and test on Tuesday. 

         In writing we were wrapping up our personal narratives and began writing imaginative stories. We also made a creepy spider with our four types of sentences. After that we continued with the spider theme and wrote a cinquain poem.

         In reading we studied a type of folktale- fairytales. We looked at the story structure, and filled out our own graphic organizer after practicing one together. We also joined Mrs. Frazier for a digital Citizenship fairy tale story. We loved waving our wands when the characters were not being safe on line.

         In science we finished up our unit on changing and combining matter and began a unit on energy- light, heat and sound! We are looking forward to many fun investigations next week.

 

  • Needed items for our classroom- More large glue sticks. We are running through the ones sent in already. Thank you to

 

* If your child  has a pictures of Veterans to be included in the Veterans Day Tribute Video, can you please forward them to me, the cutoff for submissions is next Friday, Oct. 30th.
