Congratulations to Riverview's November Character award winners. Great job showing Respect!
Congratulations to Riverview's Literacy Student of the Month and our Student of the Month.
I nominate Olivia Schmidt for Student of the Month based on the character traits of responsibility and determination. In our classroom we focus a lot on having a growth mindset. We recite a daily pledge: “Today I will have a good learning attitude, be an active learner and grow my brain, and be a mindful problem solver.” Olivia takes this pledge to heart. Olivia comes to school with a good learning attitude. She rushes into the classroom everyday with completed homework. Olivia is eager to read, is developing a good reading stamina, and gets excited about what she is reading. Olivia takes responsibility for her own learning and is a mindful problem solver. She frequently uses resources around the room to help her with her learning. During writing and word work time Olivia uses the word wall and other words around the room to figure out how to spell and write words. During math time she uses the number poster and number line. Olivia shows determination with her learning. If something is challenging, she works hard and practices until she gets it. At the beginning of the year, Olivia had trouble writing some of her lowercase letters. Olivia practiced her handwriting in her handwriting packet everyday and her handwriting has improved a lot. It is for these reasons that I am nominating Olivia for student of the month. Redgranite Elementary Mrs. Tompkins
Students at Redgranite received an award today for showing the Character Trait Respect.

Keeping An Open Mind!
"The Sandwich Swap" by Queen Rania Al Abdullah is a story about friendship, acceptance, and keeping an open mind. These third grade students learned a lesson and were introduced to a food they had never heard of before, hummus. Keeping with the morale of the story the girls kept an open mind when they tried hummus for the first time.
Thrivent Financial was kind enough to donate money for free reading books to Mrs. Belter’s CPR. These books were chosen with teens aged interests in mind with a variety of reading levels to accommodate every student. When the books arrived, the students were so excited to check them out!
