Nomination from: Mrs. Majeskie
I wish to nominate Ryker Withall for Redgranite's student of the month. Ryker has an overall positive attitude about school and school work. He comes to school excited to learn, and is always willing to try new things. He isn't afraid of working hard and puts forth a strong effort to be successful. Ryker is kind and friendly to everyone in our class. He works cooperatively and helps anyone who needs it. Ryker also looks for ways to brighten someone's day with a cheerful note. He has wonderful manners too. Ryker follows all school rules, and he can be trusted to do the right thing, no matter what. When given directions, Ryker doesn't hesitate or complain. He follows directions right away. Ryker doesn't need reminders or even praise to do what he knows is right. He just does it because he takes pride in himself as being a student with strong character. Redgranite Elementary School is a better place because of Ryker and his role model behavior in the character traits.
Students in Mrs. Belter's class find a way to spice up learning of money skills, budgeting and grammar skills. These hands-on skills help students succeed at the lessons objectives.

Third graders at Redgranite Elementary began the FOSS science investigation about Motion and Matter. Students were asked to answer the following focus question: "What happens when magnets interact with other magnets and with paper clips?"
After several attempts with magnetic/force activities, students noticed that magnets can push or pull each other and they noticed that magnets attract paper clips. Students are excited to conduct additional activities in the future.
