🌿🐾 Exploring Biomes in 3rd Grade! 🌎✨
Our amazing third graders in Mrs. Odenweller’s class have been learning all about plants and animals in different biomes — and WOW, they have blown us away! 🤩

🪶 November is Native American Heritage Month! 🪶
This month, we honor and celebrate the rich histories, vibrant cultures, and lasting contributions of Native Americans, Alaska Natives, and Indigenous peoples across our nation. Their stories are deeply woven into the fabric of America’s past, present, and future — reminding us of the strength, resilience, and wisdom that continue to shape our world today.
Native American Heritage Month is a time for reflection, education, and appreciation. It’s an opportunity to learn about the traditions, innovations, and values of the first peoples of this land — and to recognize the importance of preserving their heritage for future generations.
Here at North Augusta Elementary, we encourage our Dolphin community to take time this month to:
✨ Read books about Native Americans
✨ Explore Indigenous art, music, and storytelling
✨ Learn about local tribes and their history in South Carolina
✨ Honor the respect for nature, community, and culture that Native peoples embody
Together, let’s celebrate diversity, deepen our understanding, and show gratitude for the enduring contributions of Native Americans.
💛💙🐬

🌟 November Leader in Me Focus: Habit #4 — Think Win-Win! 🌟
At North Augusta Elementary, our Dolphins are learning that there’s enough success for everyone!
Habit #4: Think Win-Win means balancing courage with kindness — seeking solutions where everyone benefits instead of competing or comparing. It’s about teamwork, empathy, and building positive relationships. 💛💙🐬
💡 Why It Matters
When students practice Think Win-Win, they learn to listen, cooperate, and value others’ ideas. This habit builds a stronger classroom community and helps students develop problem-solving and leadership skills that last a lifetime.
🏠 Tips for Families
Model teamwork: Show your child how family members can share chores or make decisions that work for everyone.
Use “we” language: Encourage phrases like “Let’s find a way we both win!”
Celebrate others’ success: Help your child cheer for classmates and friends when they do well.
Solve conflicts together: Practice compromise and listening to both sides.
Together, let’s help our Dolphins make November a month full of kindness, cooperation, and win-win thinking! 🌈💙

🏠💛 November is National Homeless Youth Awareness Month 💙🐬
Every child deserves a safe place to call home — a place where they can learn, grow, and dream without worry. Sadly, many children and teens across our community face challenges such as unstable housing, food insecurity, and limited access to school resources.
This year, Aiken County Public Schools identified 372 homeless youth for the 2024–2025 school year. Behind each number is a story — a student who needs stability, compassion, and opportunity.
Together, we can make a difference.
This month, let’s come together to raise awareness, support our local youth, and take action to ensure that every student has the chance to thrive.
✨ Here’s how you can help:
Support local shelters and youth programs 🏠
Donate essentials such as toiletries, clothing, or school supplies 🎒
Advocate for affordable, safe housing 🗣️
Share this message to raise awareness ❤️
If you or someone you know needs assistance, please contact your local McKinney-Vento representative at 📞 (803) 335-7052 for guidance and support.
💛 Every child deserves hope, dignity, and a brighter tomorrow. 💙
