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 25

Dear Parents,

            This week in math we continued working with three digit subtraction with and without regrouping. I am very proud of how hard my class has been working to master this skill. Please make sure your child is filling out the math and reading log nightly ( Mon.- Thurs), and turn in math or reading homework the next morning after it goes home in the blue daily folder. This homework helps reinforce a skill learned that day. In writing we finished up our class biography research project about Helen Keller. We researched as a class, wrote important facts on sticky notes, organized them in a timeline order, wrote our rough draft together, and edited the class rough draft. Then each child wrote his/her own final copy. They did an amazing job! In reading we were researching famous Americans, and famous African Americans for Black History Month. In science we have been observing, talking, and writing about our weather and the tools we use to observe it. We can’t wait to share our open house Flipgrid of videos and our pockets full of hard work next week.

 

Action : Please See attached letter    : We are in need of this agreement As soon as possible. These Students do not have the agreement completed: Lillian, Jaxon, Gana
