🥤🧁 Today, Mr. Badillo, Mrs. Boyd, and Mrs. Clark treated our amazing teachers to a sweet surprise — a Soda Drink Mixing Station, Build-Your-Own Trail Mix Bar, and a cupcake to top it all off! 🎉
Teachers got to create their own custom-flavored drinks with a variety of syrups and mixers — a fun and refreshing way to personalize their perfect pick-me-up. It was a delicious way to say thank you for all they do! 💛💙

⚾🎓 Take us out to the ballgame — and the classroom! On May 6, our 2nd, 4th, and 5th grade students from North Augusta Elementary had the amazing opportunity to attend Education Day at SRP Park, home of the Augusta GreenJackets! 🐝📚
SRP Park was transformed into the biggest classroom in the CSRA, where baseball met learning in the best way possible. With education-themed exhibits, in-game contests, and a full Education Day Packet that connected baseball to English, Math, Science, and History, our students were learning while having a blast! 🧠⚾💡
Today’s matchup between the GreenJackets and the Hickory Crawdads (Texas Rangers) may have ended in a 3–1 loss, but the GreenJackets absolutely won our students' hearts! 💛💙
A huge THANK YOU to the Augusta GreenJackets and SRP Park for an unforgettable day of fun, learning, and teamwork! We can’t wait to return! 🐬🙌

🎉🥚 Cracking into Science and Culture! 🌎📚
Today, Mrs. Maikranz’s 1st Grade class at North Augusta Elementary School wrapped up their egg-cellent science unit on oviparous animals with a festive and meaningful celebration!
In honor of Cinco de Mayo, our young scientists participated in a fun cultural tradition by breaking confetti eggs (cascarones) on each other’s heads—a playful way to wish one another good luck and happiness!
This colorful tradition, rooted in Mexican culture and often seen during celebrations like Easter and Cinco de Mayo, gave our students a joyful and tangible way to connect science with diverse cultural practices.
🌟 What We Learned:
🧪 Students observed and compared different kinds of eggs, learned about animals that hatch from eggs, and explored life cycles—covering key concepts in South Carolina Science Standards 1.L.5A (Animals and their offspring, including life cycles).
🌍 Through this Cinco de Mayo activity, they also engaged in Social Studies Standard 1-2.4, which explores how customs and traditions contribute to identity and community.
We’re proud of our students for exploring the world through both science and culture! 💡🌈

📚✨ Learning in Action with Mrs. DeLattre’s 4th Graders! ✨📚
Check out these awesome photos from our 3 Corner Text Structure Game! 🏃♀️📖☀️
Our fourth graders took their learning outdoors, collaborating in groups to identify and explain the text structure of multiple short passages. From cause and effect to compare and contrast, they demonstrated their knowledge in a fun and active way!
🎯 This engaging activity supports the South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Standards for English Language Arts, specifically:
Standard 4.RI.5 – Determine the overall structure of a text (e.g., chronology, comparison, cause/effect, problem/solution) and explain how it supports comprehension.
Way to go, students! We’re proud of how you're growing as thoughtful readers and effective collaborators! 🌟📘👏
