🐬💛 Learning About Money in Ms. McGurk’s Class! 💙🐬
Third-grade students in Ms. McGurk’s math class recently worked in small groups to explore the different types of United States coins. Students learned what coins are made of, how much each coin is worth, and discovered the people and symbols featured on them.
Students also learned about decimals and why they are important when working with money.
Working together, the students created poster projects to share what they learned. Their teamwork and creativity helped bring their discoveries to life!
Great job, Dolphins! 🐬

🐬📚 Welcome Back to NAUES, Joscelyn! 💛💙
Mrs. Rutland’s class is excited to welcome a very special Teacher Cadet, Joscelyn, to their classroom! It feels like full circle for Joscelyn, who not too long ago was a student right here at North Augusta Elementary School. Now she’s back, helping inspire and support our young Dolphins as they grow as readers and learners.
During her first week, Joscelyn used her bilingual skills to help Mrs. Rutland read and translate a story that included Spanish, helping students better understand and enjoy the story together.
This week the class celebrated Dr. Seuss, and Joscelyn jumped right in by leading story time and helping students with some of their Dr. Seuss-themed learning projects.
We love seeing former Dolphins return to help the next generation of students learn and grow. Thank you, Joscelyn, for sharing your time, talents, and love of learning with our students! 📚✨

Speaking of future goals, today our Dolphins celebrated Dress as Your Future Career Day. It was so exciting to see the many dreams our students have for the future. From teachers to community helpers and beyond, our Dolphins are dreaming big, setting goals, and working hard to achieve them.
🌟 Watch out world — the future is bright at NAUES!
