🎻 A Special Musical Visit for Our 5th Grade Dolphins! 💛💙🐬
Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming the Paul Knox Middle School Orchestra, under the direction of Mrs. Karen Geigle, to North Augusta Elementary School!
Our 5th grade students enjoyed an incredible performance while also learning about orchestra string instruments. Orchestra members demonstrated how instruments like the violin, viola, cello, and bass sound and work together to create beautiful music.
To help inspire our future middle schoolers, students also went home with information to share with their families if they are interested in learning to play a string instrument next year. 🎶✨
The orchestra did a fabulous job, and our students and teachers truly enjoyed the performance and the opportunity to learn more about music!
Thank you to Mrs. Geigle and the Paul Knox Middle School Orchestra for visiting NAUES and encouraging our Dolphins to explore their talents! 💛🎻💙

With the possibility of a Winter Storm on everyone’s radar, please know that we are in close collaboration with local Emergency Management Officials in monitoring for impact to our area.
Confidence in the weekend storm’s possible impact to Aiken County has decreased. However, in an abundance of caution, our District and school’s weekend activities scheduled to extend beyond noon this Saturday, January 24, will be rescheduled.
This includes numerous activities, such as Saturday’s acGATEWAY auditions, as well as the MLK Jr. Community Event previously scheduled for Sunday. Individual schools and programs will share details on these and other cancellations along with rescheduled dates and times.
Our emergency management team will continue to work closely with local officials in monitoring the storm over the coming days. As we prepare for the possibility of e-learning on Monday, students will be sent home from school tomorrow with their laptop and remote assignments.
A decision regarding the safety of operations for next week will be made as soon as possible. We recognize that school closure decisions have a tremendous impact on our community, especially parents and guardians. Please know that the safety of our students, families, teachers and staff is always our highest priority, and that every effort will be made to utilize our five designated e-learning days carefully so as to not extend the school year to meet mandated requirements. An update regarding operations for Monday, January 26, will be shared no later than 3 p.m. on Sunday, January 25.

✅ Develop resilience and a healthy mindset
This month’s discussion will help families talk about what optimism looks like at school, at home, and in everyday life — and how we can model it for our children.
🕗 Date & Time:
📅 Thursday, January 29, 2026
⏰ 7:45 AM
We hope you’ll start your morning with us as we connect, learn together, and continue building strong relationships with our students. We look forward to seeing you there! 💛💙🐬

💛💙 4th Grade Readers Are Making BIG Brain Inferences! 🧠🐬
On Tuesday in Mrs. DeLattre’s classroom, our 4th grade Dolphins were working hard on an important reading skill—INFERENCING! 📚✨
Students got to get down and dirty in the best way—by writing directly on their desks (don’t worry… dry erase fun 😉) as they broke down:
✅ Text Evidence (what the author says)
✅ Schema / Background Knowledge (what we already know)
➡️ to create a strong, supported inference (what the text means)
This hands-on strategy made thinking visible and helped students understand that strong readers don’t just guess—they prove their thinking! 👏🐬
Way to go, Mrs. DeLattre and our amazing 4th graders! 💛💙

❄️🌨️ Snow Much Learning in 4th Grade GT! 🌨️❄️
With the blistering cold weather upon us, our Fourth Grade GT students turned the season into an exciting learning opportunity! 😄🧠
Students have been exploring precipitation and blizzards as part of their natural disaster learning — discussing what causes severe winter weather and how it impacts people and the environment. 🌬️🌡️
At the same time, they’ve been sharpening their math skills by studying:
📏 Lines of symmetry
📐 Types of angles (acute, right, obtuse)
To connect it all together, students participated in a STEM Challenge where they designed and created their own unique snowflakes that demonstrate both symmetry and angles! ❄️📐✨
These creative designs were not only beautiful — they were packed with learning and critical thinking!
👏 A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Lewis for inspiring our students to explore, create, and achieve through meaningful hands-on learning experiences! 💛💙🐬
📸 Check out their amazing snowflake creations below!
