Redgranite 2nd grade students at were making observations about different materials. They were deciding if the materials were solids or liquids while using funnels, schoops bottles and vials to scoop, shake and pour. They learned that small materials are called particles. Many particles together can sometimes act like liquids because they pour and take the shape of their container. Particles, however, are solids because they keep their own shape and and can be made into lines and piles.
Third graders at Redgranite would like to send out a heartfelt "THANK YOU" to all the people who participated in the 11th Annual Pajama Drive. Today was the last day of the PJ Drive, so next week students will be calculating the total number of pajamas donated and calculating monetary donations. Once they've calculated the total, they will post an update to Facebook.
Thanks again for supporting our cause! We greatly appreciate it.

Redgranite third graders began Investigation 2 in science class today. In this investigation students are exploring patterns of motion and trying to answer the question: How can we change the motion of wheel-and-axle systems rolling down ramps?
Students built several different wheel-and-axle systems and tested them on a ramp. They observed what happened and then picked their favorite wheel-and-axle system, drew a diagram of it, and also wrote about the pattern of motion they observed.
Redgranite third graders participated in "Trashketball" today. Students have been learning how to use a ruler to measure to the nearest 1/4 of an inch. First, the students worked in partnerships to measure the lengths of eight rectangles. Once they were done measuring they were able to collect a paper basketball for each correct answer. Once they collected their paper basketballs, they played "Trashketball". They could shoot one or two point shots.
Riverview second graders learned about PIE (Author's purpose) this week. Authors write to persuade, inform and entertain. Some even enjoyed a slice of pie. Yum!!

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.
