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 32

 Dear Parents,

   This week in math, we reviewed for our End of year CBA Math assessment and took it on Tues. and Wed. On Thursday we had a fun Egg Hunt Math and Around the room Math to do. The students enjoyed finding the eggs and answering the questions.

     In writing they began by brainstorming ideas for their How to individual projects and began drafting and revising them. We continue learning the Capital Cursive Letters in our handwriting books.

      In reading/ social studies our focus was economics. We learned about producers and consumers and completed a sort. We will be making a circle-rama with the information we learned next week. We read the Scholastic News Article “Billions of Bugs’ and completed a reading check point.

       In Science we continued read and learning about the life cycles of butterflies and frogs. We created a project that shares our learning. On Thursday we took our assessment over this unit.

        I have had a few parents inquire about coming on our field trip. If you would like to, you may call the theater and tell them the date and the name of our school and see if you can purchase a ticket. You will need to drive yourself, but you can come to school that morning and follow our buses.

         We are collecting white standard sized pillow cases for a project. Every year there are several children who cannot purchase one. If you buy a pack of two and would like to donate the other pillow case, it would be appreciated. I would like to ensure that every child gets to make this fun keepsake of second grade.
