💛💙 Dolphins Lead Together! 💙💛

On August 20th, our students kicked off the school year with the first Buddy Club meeting of 2025! 🐬✨

Buddy Clubs are a special NAUES tradition where younger and older grade levels “buddy up” to learn and grow together. These partnerships give our students the chance to practice Leader in Me skills, build friendships across grade levels, and strengthen our school community. 🌟

From teamwork to responsibility, kindness to leadership — Buddy Clubs remind us that we are stronger when we lead and learn side by side! 💫

💛💙 Dolphins Leading the Way! 🐬✨

Today at NAUES, our students showed what it means to be leaders and community builders! After beginning with Buddy Clubs, students transitioned into their special interest clubs where they explored passions, practiced teamwork, and built friendships. 🌟

From Earth Stewards 🌱 to Arts & Crafts 🎨, STEM & Science 🔬 to Dance & Fitness 💃, Sports ⚽, Board Games 🎲, Legos 🧩, Kindness & Art 💛, Play-Doh fun 🎭, Keyboards 🎹, and even serving as Student Ambassadors 🌟—our Dolphins found joy in learning, creating, and leading together.

At North Augusta Elementary, every student has the chance to shine as a leader while strengthening our school community. What an amazing day of growth and connection! 💫

🇺🇸🐬 Special Visit at NAUES! 🐬🇺🇸

North Augusta Elementary was honored to welcome U.S. Congressman Joe Wilson and several Aiken County representatives to our school today! Students shared their learning, asked thoughtful questions, and enjoyed a special read-aloud in first grade and a Q&A with fourth grade.

A highlight of the day — our art teacher, Mrs. Kristina Todd, presented Congressman Wilson with a beautiful hand-painted picture of our Dolphin logo with the American and South Carolina flags to mark his visit. 🎨❤️💙💛

We are so grateful for this opportunity to showcase the amazing learning, creativity, and school spirit of our Dolphin community! 🐬✨

🌍 Creative Land & Water Models in Ms. Anderson’s 2nd Grade Science Class! 🌊

Ms. Anderson’s second graders have been busy designing and building their very own models of landforms—everything from mountains, valleys, and hills to rivers, lakes, and oceans! Not only did these hands-on projects spark creativity, but they also brought to life key South Carolina science standards:

South Carolina Science Standards in Action

2-ESS2-2: Develop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land and bodies of water in an area
Students identified and physically represented various natural features like hills, plains, rivers, and lakes. Their models demonstrate understanding of real-world patterns in land and water.
South Carolina Department of Education
Generation Genius

2-ESS2-3: Obtain information to identify where water is found on Earth and that it can be solid or liquid
Through research and observation, students recognized that water exists in places like oceans and rivers, and even as ice. Their creations helped illustrate these concepts in tangible form

🥁🎶 Kindergarten is Neat… Keeping the Beat! 🎶🥁

This week in music, our Kindergarten Dolphins had so much fun with Mr. Palmer learning how to keep a steady beat! 🐬💛💙
From tapping their feet to drumming to the rhythm, these young musicians are discovering that music is everywhere — and learning how to listen, move, and play together. 🎵✨

📘 South Carolina Music Standards – Kindergarten

Anchor Standard 4: Perform music with expression and technical accuracy.

Anchor Standard 5: Demonstrate understanding of the music’s structure and elements (like steady beat).

Anchor Standard 10: Relate musical ideas to personal experiences.

Way to go, Kindergarten Dolphins — you’re off to a great start in music! 🌟👏

🎉💛 First Grade Leader Loot Winners! 💙🎉

This week, our amazing First Grade Dolphins wrapped up another exciting Leader Loot drawing — celebrating students who go above and beyond to show respect, responsibility, and readiness to learn. 🐬✨

Throughout the week, these young leaders earned Leader Loot tickets by making positive choices and setting a great example for others. Every ticket was a chance to win, but the real prize is the leadership skills and positive habits they’re building every day! 💪

Each Friday, a few names are drawn at random, and our winners are recognized for their outstanding behavior and dedication to living out our school expectations. 🙌

We are so proud of our first graders for continuing to lead the way at NAUES — keep it up, Dolphins! 💛💙

🏆🐬 Congratulations to this week’s First Grade “You Rock” Award winner!
You earned this special honor because…
✨ You showed kindness even when someone wasn’t kind to you — you still shared your Leader Loot.
✨ You invited a classmate to play who didn’t have anyone to play with on the playground.
✨ You model perfect lunchroom manners every day.

Your kindness, empathy, and leadership make our Dolphin family shine! 🌟 Keep up the amazing work — you truly rock! 🎉

🚀🎈 Force + Motion = Fun Learning! 🎈🚀

Mrs. Icenhour’s 3rd Grade Scientists investigated force and motion this past week with an exciting balloon racing experiment! 🐬💛💙

💡 Did you know…
👉 The bigger the balloon, the greater the force it has?
👉 The greater the force, the faster it moves?
👉 And sometimes… the hardest part is just blowing up the balloon? 😅

Students had a blast experimenting, observing, and making discoveries through hands-on science! 🔬✨

📘 Standards Connection (3rd Grade SC Science):

3.P.3A.1 – Plan and conduct investigations to determine the effect of force on the motion of an object.

3.P.3A.2 – Analyze and interpret data to describe and predict how varying the strength of a force affects the motion of an object.

Way to go, Dolphin scientists! 🌟 #NAUES #STEMLearning #DolphinPride

🌟 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!
