🌟 Celebrating Big Wins in Dr. Moore’s Class! 🌟
Our kindergarteners are shining bright this week—they’ve begun earning their very first Math Brag Tags! These aren’t just fun tokens—they’re powerful symbols of growth, learning, and stepping-stones toward meeting South Carolina’s College-and-Career-Ready Standards in mathematics.
What’s a Brag Tag?
• An exciting little badge that each student earns when they’ve demonstrated mastery of key math skills.
• Once earned, they get to add it to their personal necklace—turning their learning journey into a wearable achievement.
• At the end of the year, they’ll take home the full collection: a beautiful, tangible record of all they’ve accomplished!
This Week’s Special Honors:
Students who counted confidently to 25, 50, or even 75—they’ve earned brag tags that showcase their number sense and mastery of counting. These skills align with South Carolina’s standards, including:
K.NS.1: Counting forward by ones and tens (up to 100) and K.NS.2: Beginning counting from any number less than 100
IXL Learning
rock-hill.k12.sc.us
.
Plus, building understanding that each number name corresponds to one more than the last, and that the last number counted equals the total objects—foundational principles highlighted in South Carolina’s Counting & Cardinality goals
Instructure
Education Oversight Committee
.
Why It Matters:
Each tag is a milestone—a small celebration of "I did it!" This visual—and wearable—progress not only motivates students, it also connects their everyday achievements to the rigorous standards they're meeting. Families, be sure to ask your child about their brag tags and share in their pride!

🎶 Feel the Beat at North Augusta Elementary! 🎶
Second graders in Mr. Palmer’s music class were grooving with rhythm sticks this week—and the energy was electric! With each tap, click, and beat, students explored how music is organized into sets of 2, 3, and 4 beats, learning all about meter in the most hands-on way. Whether it was duple, triple, or quadruple time, these young musicians were counting, moving, and jamming like pros!
🪵✨ Why rhythm sticks? They’re the perfect tool for helping students feel the beat, develop coordination, and connect movement to musical structure. Plus, they make learning rhythm super fun!
📚 Learning in Action This activity aligns with the South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Standards for Visual and Performing Arts (2020):
2.M.PR.4 – Demonstrate and describe how music’s expressive qualities (such as dynamics, tempo, and meter) can support a specific purpose.
2.M.CR.1 – Improvise rhythmic and melodic ideas, and describe connection to specific purpose and context.
2.M.R.3 – Identify and describe meter in music.
🎵 These young musicians are building a strong foundation in rhythm, creativity, and musical expression—one beat at a time!
📸 Stay tuned for more musical moments from Mr. Palmer’s class. At North Augusta Elementary, we don’t just learn music… we live it! 🎤💃

🍦💛 Fourth Grade “Where We Live” Project 💙🍦
During the first weeks of school, Mrs. Lewis’s 4th grade Social Studies class got creative with a sweet twist on geography — the **Ice Cream Cone “Where We Live” Project”! 🐬✨
Students built colorful paper ice cream cones, stacking scoops from smallest to largest location:
🏫 Class → Grade → School → City → County → State → Country → Continent → Planet → Galaxy 🌍🌌
This hands-on activity helped students learn how to identify and organize the different levels of where they live — from their own classroom all the way to our Milky Way galaxy! 🌟
📚 SC Social Studies Standards in Action (4th Grade):
4.G.1: Use geographic representations to explain relationships between locations and places in South Carolina, the United States, and the world.
4.G.1.1: Identify the absolute and relative location of places using geographic tools and terms.
This fun, memorable project not only reinforced mapping and location skills but also set the tone for an exciting year of learning about our place in the world. Way to go, 4th Grade Dolphins! 💪🐬

💛💙 Shining Bright in Third Grade! 💙💛
In Ms. McGurk’s class, several amazing Dolphins were caught “shining bright” 🌟 ten times — earning themselves the ultimate reward… a desk pet! 🐾✨
In our class, students earn a star each time they’re spotted on task, working hard, and doing their very best. Once they collect 10 stars, they get to choose a special desk pet to keep them company while they learn. 🐬📚
This fun reward celebrates positive habits, responsibility, and effort — and we couldn’t be prouder of our shining stars! Keep up the amazing work, Third Grade! 🙌

💛💙 Fourth Grade Dolphins Put Their Budgeting Skills to the Test! 💙💛
Today, our NAUES fourth graders became smart shoppers using Food Lion sale flyers! 🛒🐬
They explored BOGO deals, worked within a set budget, and created their own grocery lists — recording the actual prices and rounding to the nearest dollar to stay on track.
This real-world math activity not only sharpened their addition, subtraction, and rounding skills but also helped them understand smart spending and financial decision-making — important life skills they’ll use for years to come!
📚 SC Math Standards in Action:
4.NSBT.4: Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
4.MDA.2: Solve real-world problems involving measurements and calculations.
4.NSBT.5: Apply place value to round multi-digit numbers to any place.
Way to go, fourth grade! You’re proving that math matters in the real world! 🏆✨

💰✍️ Real-World Math in Action! 🧠📄
Ms. Ryan’s 4th grade students at North Augusta Elementary put their number knowledge to the test this week by writing checks — a fun and practical way to practice writing multi-digit numbers in word form!
Using real-world financial literacy skills, students engaged in hands-on learning to strengthen their understanding of place value and number representation, key skills in the South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Standards for Mathematics:
📘 4.NSBT.2 – Read and write numbers through the hundred-thousands using standard form, word form, and expanded form.
This interactive activity gave students a taste of how math connects to everyday life — and they had a blast while doing it!
Way to go, 4th Grade Dolphins, for being responsible learners and applying your math skills in meaningful ways! 🐬💛💙

🎉💛 First Grade Leader Loot Fun! 💙🎉
This past Friday (8/1/25), our fantastic First Grade Dolphins held their very first Leader Loot drawing of the school year — and what an exciting celebration of leadership it was!
Over the past few weeks, these young leaders have been working hard to demonstrate respectful behavior, responsibility, and positive choices across campus. As they modeled what it means to be a North Augusta Leader, students earned Leader Loot tickets — which were then entered into our weekly drawing.
🎟️ The more Leader Loot tickets earned, the better the chance of being selected — but the real reward is the positive habits being built every day. 💪
Each Friday in First Grade, a few lucky winners are drawn at random and celebrated for their outstanding behavior, leadership, and commitment to our school expectations. 🙌
We’re so proud of all our first-grade students for showing what it means to be Respectful, Responsible, and Ready to Learn — keep leading the way, Dolphins! 🐬✨

We are so proud of these young learners for already showing model storytime behavior — sitting attentively, listening respectfully, and engaging thoughtfully with the book. From asking meaningful questions to making connections to their own experiences, our students are off to a fantastic start! 🌟
This fun and engaging activity supports the South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Standards for English Language Arts (ELA), including:
📖 K.RL.1 – With guidance and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text.
👂 K.RL.10 – Actively engage in group reading activities with purpose and understanding.
💬 K.SL.1 – Participate in collaborative conversations with peers and adults about kindergarten topics and texts.
Way to go, Dolphins! 🐬 We’re excited to watch these bright minds grow and shine throughout the year!

🌟 Shoutout to Our Rockstar Admin Team! 🌟
We’re kicking off the school year with immense gratitude for the heart and hustle of our incredible leadership team — Principal Mr. Badillo, Assistant Principal Mrs. Boyd, and Assistant Principal Ms. Clark! 💛💙
From the moment our Dolphins step through the doors, this dynamic trio is there — offering high-fives, lending helping hands, and making sure every student feels seen, supported, and ready to learn. Today, Mr. Badillo even stepped in to assist with breakfast service 🍎🥣 — just one of the many ways our admin team goes above and beyond to ensure our students start their day with a smile.
Whether they’re leading with vision, supporting staff, solving problems behind the scenes, or rolling up their sleeves for the everyday details — their dedication is unmatched.
👏 Thank you, Mr. Badillo, Mrs. Boyd, and Ms. Clark, for leading with compassion, consistency, and care. Your daily efforts do not go unnoticed. We are so lucky to have you guiding our Dolphin family into another amazing school year! 🐬✨
