Yeah for Math and Science

Our tomato, green onion, green bean, and sunflower seeds were planted.  The hardest part is to practice Kshanti by being patient and waiting for them to grow into vegetables or flowers!!!!

Life Learning Activities

What a busy week!  Besides learning about Presidents Washington and Lincoln and enjoying Jump Rope for Heart, we measured objects around the class. The highlight of the week was having fun at Dole Plantation where we rode on the Pineapple Express Train, getting lost in The Maze and seeing different sizes of pineapple. Our favorite part was the Dole Whip...mmmmm, good!

Make a video - it's fun, easy and free!

Comparing and Ordering by Size

Playing games is so much fun in Math class.  We stood side by side for our first game called 'Tall, Taller, Tallest'.  Later, we gathered all sorts of toys around the room to compare and order them by size. That was hard work!



A note from Mrs. Lee:

Aloha kakou Parents,

The Kindergarten students are celebrating Career Month! Several parents have volunteered to share information about their chosen careers to the keiki.  Dr. Yagi, Sophie's Mom,who is a dentist, visited us today and spoke about Dental Health and those nasty cavity bugs! Everyone was given a bag with some useful dental products too.  Also on tap to visit is an Orthopedic Surgeon, a Sumotori, and a Hairdresser.

On Thursday afternoons, the students will have fun in the Computer Lab under my instruction.  They were introduced to Kerpoof, a children's entertainment and educational website produced by Disney. Registered under my Kerpoof teacher account, everyone was assigned a username and password.  They are all jazzed about this site which will help them learn through creativity!

Please remember:

• Friday, February 8th - No School.  Teacher-in-Service Day.
• Monday, February 11th - Musubi Man payment due.

Each of Us is a Flower

We're learning about the parts of the plant and what they need to grow.  We are like little flowers too!

A note from Mrs. Lee:

Aloha Parents,

In the past, I have mentioned myOn Reader, a personalized reading online program with thousands of digital books. It is a way to engage your keiki at his/her level based on his/her interests. Beginning in February, I am encouraging every student to read a minimum of 6 books a month. 

This is the future in reading. We need to give the keiki the opportunity to choose what they want to read, in a digital environment in which they are comfortable, and motivate them to become better and more confident readers.

Swim classes with Ms. Whitney and Mr. Kimura will commence  the week of March 4th and end the week of May 10th.  More information will be provided later this month.

The children have developed their speaking skills beyond the 'Show and Tell' activity. It will not be part of our schedule any longer.

Please remember:

• Monday, February 4th - Library books due
• Monday, February 11th - Musubi Man musical payment due
• Thursday, February 14th - Book Share due
• Friday, February 22nd - Kuakini Hale Pulama Mau Community Service consent form due. If you would like to assist and chaperone on this walking trip, it would be greatly appreciated!

Warm regards,
Mrs. Lee
