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 28

 

Dear Parents,

        What a wonderful, but busy week! First of all I wanted to thank my families who made it to Open House! We had a great turn out. It is such an important day for your child. We’ve been saving up our best work all year. The children can really see their growth as the items in their pockets were in time order. We went from writing simple sentences to writing a research paper. There is so much hard work to celebrate in their pockets. If you were unable to come, all the work went home with your child after school yesterday. Make sure to let them tell you all about it!

          Yesterday was our Fun Run! Thank you all for making this a great fund raiser for our school! A note went home today discussing the collection from your child’s sponsors. We have already collected over $900 for our school. You all are amazing!

           In math this week we finished up unit 8 on addition/ subtraction with regrouping and took our assessment. I was so impressed how the class worked hard and used their strategies! They all did well.

            In Writing/Reading/ Social Studies we focused on now and then. We learned many interesting facts about communication, home, school, toys/games, and transportation. We learned how all of those things changed over time. Life was very different long ago! We culminated this unit with a flip book showing what we learned.

             In science we finished our unit on weather. Your children were the first to take a district wide assessment of their weather knowledge by completing a performance task. They had to record the temperature, wind speed/ direction, cloud cover, and amount of precipitation. They had to look for patterns in the weather, and know appropriate clothing, activities and transportation for seasonal weather. They did a fantastic job! As they finish they will write a script to report the weather live from Ms. Carpenter’s classroom! They did a fantastic job!

 

*Dear Hebron feeder family,

 

We would like to invite all of the students from our middle and elementary schools to come watch the water polo games on March 22nd.  All students get in free if they are wearing a Hebron or a Hebron feeder shirt.  Adults admission is $5.  The games are at 5:00, 6:00, 7:00, and 8:00pm on Tuesday 3/22/2022 at the LISD Eastside Aquatic Center.  

 

Water polo is a relatively new sport to LISD and will become a UIL sport in the Fall.  Many kids don’t know much about water polo so it is a great opportunity to come check it out.
