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 20

 Dear Parents,

      In math this week we continued learning how to represent numbers through 1,200 by word form, standard form, model, and expanded form. These forms have been practiced on our Friday number grids, since the beginning of the year starting with just numbers to 99. We took our middle of the year math CBA, a district assessment, to see how our students are doing understanding the TEKS taught this first half of the year.

       In writing we finished up our notes and friendly letters. Your child brought home a letter to deliver to someone. Please help them give, or send their letters to the person or persons he/she chose to write to for this unit.

         In reading we learned about reading a passage, then evaluating the information we read. We decided if certain sentences were fact or opinion. We read a scholastic News about Martin Luther King Jr. and took a comprehension check over the information. We also watched a Brainpop Jr. about MLK and began a project writing about our own dreams for this world.

           In science we filled in charts discussing the resources we could find inside and outside our school. We then put them into the categories of man-made or natural. We went on a scavenger hunt to take 10 pictures of these resources and used the app PicCollage to show a collage of these two kinds of resources.

It was great to be back and learning together! 😊
