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 4

 Dear Parents,

      It was a great week of learning in math. We built addition and subtraction problems within 10 and twenty. We played a fun game to do this with a partner. We looked at number sentences and number families. We realized that the four number sentences that make up  a number family all have the same three numbers! We took our assessment on Friday.

       In reading we took our BOY of year iready test for two of the days. We read the story Violet the Pilot  and discussed how characters have external and internal traits. We read a Scholastic News article called “Five Ways to Try Your Best”. We took a comprehension check for a grade. We read a story about an engineer called Rosie Revere Engineer. We wrote responsesw how we can be engineers too!

            In writing we learned what we can do when we are finished with a writing, how to write from a picture and how to write like authors we know.

            In science we learned about being digital citizens for three days, we worked on a science page to learn new vocabulary as we read a passage. On Friday a real engineer came to school to talk about her job and what she does.
