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 29

Dear Parents,

        This was a short week but we managed to get a lot done! In math we took our assessment on fractions and began our unit on solid and plane shapes. We had fun observing solid shapes to count their faces, edges and vertices. In writing and reading we continued working on our procedural paper with a buddy. We chose a topic, researched, sited sources and wrote our rough drafts. All we have left is the editing checklist and final copy! In Reading we read Two stories about plants and took an assessment. In science we took our assessment over unit 11 Physical Characteristics and Needs of Plants and started Unit 12 on Physical Characteristics and behaviors of Animals.

 

*Coyotes, we are celebrating Coyote Ridge’s First Annual Clothing Drive! Our goal is to donate as many new items as possible for LISD’s “Dressed to Learn” program. Donations will assist students in need of clothing items such as socks, underwear, shirts, pants and shoes. Please support us by sending “new” items only. Here at CRE, we are passionate in supporting our local community and students in need. Your support is always appreciated! The grade level with the most donations will win a grade-level prize! See the attached flyer or the copy in your child’s Coyote Folder.
