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 25 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,

        It was a short week but one filled with activity. Thank you for all you did to make this funrun a success for our school! The children had fun participating in the run and were proud of their achievement! I hope you also enjoyed our virtual Open House and seeing all the projects we’ve been working on this year!

         In math we worked all week on representing and solving word problems. Now that we are experts at three digit addition and subtraction with and without regrouping, this reinforced the problem solving we’ve been doing all year! In writing and reading we’ve been learning how to plan research by asking questions, finding multiple sources and taking notes. Soon we will partner up to research more independently. In social studies we have continued working on map skills and reading a map key. We also reinforced our cardinal directions. In science we are watching our weather, graphing it, recording it on a chart and becoming weather men and women as we report the weather.

 

Upon our return from spring break, each Monday we will encourage students to wear their Kindness T-shirts, or BLUE/TEAL/AQUA shirts and we will continue promoting Kindness on campus! 

Here are a few ways we will be promoting Kindness: 

  1.  Staff will wear Kindness shirts on Mondays
  2. Promoting additional kindness challenges for the week
  3. Providing photo opportunities when identifying a student “choosing to be kind” & promote social media.

Challenges will be promoted via announcements on Mondays and I will share with you the info to include in your parent newsletter.

 

Hello CRE families!  Are you feeling lucky today?  Your child will feel lucky knowing that you have pre-ordered their very own Coyote Ridge Elementary Yearbook!  You can click on the link on the attachment to get to the our school’s order page.  Yearbooks will be delivered a few days before school is out so please order yours today!

 

Mrs. Rios and Mrs. Hernandez
