📚🎉 Lexia Level-Up Celebration! 🎉📚
We’re so proud of our North Aiken Elementary students who have leveled up in Lexia Core5 Reading!
What is Lexia Core5?
Lexia Core5 is an adaptive online reading program that helps students build strong literacy skills in areas such as phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. The program meets students right where they are and adjusts in real-time to give them the practice and support they need to grow.
How do students move up a level?
Students complete targeted reading activities at their own pace. When they master a set of skills and show consistent progress, they “level up” — a huge milestone that shows they’re becoming more confident, capable readers! 📖✨
👏 Let’s give a big bear shoutout to our hardworking students for showing focus, persistence, and a love for learning! We can't wait to see even more students level-up in the upcoming weeks!

Club Spotlight
🎨 Culpepper’s Design Lab 🎨
Our Design Lab students explored how digital images can be used in the screen printing process!
Working in teams, students designed logos in Canva, then voted on their favorites. The winning designs were cut out and used to give students hands-on experience with screen printing!
This project tied directly into academics by building skills in technology, math, problem-solving, and collaboration. Students practiced measurement and precision, applied creativity through design, and strengthened critical thinking as they worked together to bring their logos to life. 📚✏️
What an exciting way to connect classroom learning with real-world applications! 🌟
