🎉🐬 Leader Loot Store Alert! Big Savings = Big Rewards! 🐬🎉

Today we’re celebrating an exciting Leader Loot milestone at North Augusta Elementary!

Our very own Erlinda showed incredible patience, goal-setting, and determination by saving her Leader Loot points over time. Instead of spending along the way, she stayed focused on her goal—and it paid off!

✨ After saving 200 Leader Loot points (our most expensive item!), Erlinda proudly purchased a 1-pound chocolate bar from the Leader Loot Store!

This moment is about so much more than a sweet treat. Erlinda demonstrated important leadership habits like:
✔ Setting a goal
✔ Making responsible choices
✔ Practicing patience and self-control
✔ Sticking with a plan

We love seeing our Dolphins learn the power of saving, perseverance, and delayed gratification. Way to go, Erlinda—we are so proud of your leadership and determination! 💛💙

🌺🌴 A Tropical Night to Remember at NAUES! 🌴🌺

Tonight, North Augusta Elementary transformed into a Hawaiian paradise for our Someone You Love Dance, and what a beautiful evening it was!

From bright smiles and joyful laughter to dancing under a fun tropical theme, our Dolphin families truly embraced the island spirit! Students and their special guests enjoyed an evening filled with music, memories, and meaningful time together—creating moments that will last a lifetime.

Our fantastic food trucks added even more fun to the night:
🍗 K’s Buffalo Wings
🌮 Sr. Ozzy’s
🍦 Whipped Creamery

The turnout was amazing, and the sense of community and togetherness made the evening extra special.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible PTO for planning and hosting such a wonderful event. Your time, creativity, and countless hours of behind-the-scenes work make experiences like this possible for our students and families. From organizing details and coordinating vendors to creating a welcoming and fun atmosphere, your dedication truly makes a difference. We are so grateful for your continued support, generosity, and commitment to making NAUES a place where students thrive and families feel connected. Our school is stronger because of you!

Thank you as well to all of the volunteers and staff who helped bring this tropical celebration to life. Your support and teamwork help make our Dolphin community so special.

Mahalo to our amazing Dolphin families for making the night unforgettable! 🌺💛💙

🔥📚 Writing + Real-World Fun in Kindergarten! 🍫

Dr. Moore’s Kindergarten students have been practicing their informational writing by creating step-by-step directions on How to Build a S’more!

After carefully writing their instructions, each student put their work to the test by following their own directions while assembling their sweet treats. Talk about learning you can taste!

This hands-on experience helped our young writers understand the importance of clear sequencing, detailed directions, and using informational text to explain a process.

Way to go, Kindergarten writers! We are so proud of our Dolphins for turning their learning into something both meaningful and delicious!

📊🍫 Sweet Learning in Kindergarten! 🍫📊

Mrs. King’s Kindergarten students are having a deliciously fun time learning about graphing using M&M’s!

Through this hands-on activity, our young learners sorted their candies by color, counted each group, and created colorful graphs to show their results. This engaging lesson helped students practice important math skills such as counting, comparing, organizing data, and interpreting information.

Learning becomes even more meaningful when students can see, touch, and explore real objects—and of course, enjoying their data afterward was the sweetest reward! 😄

We love seeing our Dolphins building strong math foundations while having fun along the way!
