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 35

  Dear Parents,

      In math this week we have been doing math problems related to borrowing or spending. We have been counting money and counting how many weeks it takes to pay someone back. We have been talking about who is considered a responsible borrower and who would be considered an irresponsible borrower. We even talked about who we should choose to lend things to.

       In social studies/ reading we made a map of all the continents and oceans of the world. We learned about Cinco De Mayo and tried a tortilla. We also learned about Community Helpers. We made a flow chart to show the steps of how apples wind up on the shelves at our store.

       In writing we have been working very hard on our individual animal projects- some of us even finished! We are having so much fun researching and sharing the information with our classmates.

        In science we have been learning about animal food chains. We looked at 5 different habitats and the food chains we could see there. We read an article about animal food chains and who is a producer as well as a consumer. We even talked about decomposers! We are moving on to the next unit which is all about how environmental factors affect both animals and plants.
