WORD SEARCH 2 The Magnet Scoop Word Search Be a Magnet Star By: Raj Mulherkar By: Ben Finkelstein Anyone can be a Magnet Star! A Magnet Star is someone who is recognized for doing something exciting, something cool, or it is someone who achieved a goal. The reward for being identified as a Magnet Star is to be recognized by the class in this column. I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t want to be a Magnet Star! The first Magnet Star is Bryce Stickley. Recently Bryce earned his green belt in American martial arts, so he will be honored as a green belt until he earns his blue belt. To earn his green belt he went through a lot of hard work, learned respect for the instructors and higher ranking martial artists. He learned discipline, too. Bryce began as a white belt then moved up the ranks through orange, yellow and camouflage to earn the green belt. This is how you play the game. Find the words listed below in the puzzle. The theme is types of coffee.
