Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss wrote many funny books! He also wrote the best rhyming books! We listened to some of them including The Cat in the Hat Comes Back, The Foot Book, One Fish, Two Fish, etc. Now you can see some of the activities we enjoyed working on this week.

This free slideshow personalized with Smilebox Aloha Parents,   Everyone had fun touring Pali Safeway, learning about items in each department.  They especially enjoyed the opportunity to select and purchase a healthy fruit or snack at the checkout counter. The managers must have enjoyed our visit as they gave us 2 large trays of assorted cookies and a container of grapes to take back to school.  How nice of them!   Swimming begins on Monday, March 3rd.  Please be sure to have a swimsuit, towel, slippers (not crocs), sunscreen (optional), and a plastic bag for their wet clothes in a swim bag.  The swim bag could be a recycled fabric or nylon bag, but not plastic bags (Longs, Times, etc.). Those are very thin and a bit small so be sure the swim bag is roomy enough to fit all their swim supplies.  Labeling everything is greatly encouraged!   Please remember: Tuesday, March 4th - Spring pictures Wednesday, March 5th - Library books due Wednesday, March 5th - Hansel and Gretel Play at the Hawaii Theater.  Attire - HMS t-shirt and sport shoes.  Lunch will be eaten upon our return. Monday, March 10th - Training for a Superhero Smile Chart due Friday, March 14th - Kualoa Petting Zoo Learning Trip Have a great weekend, Mrs. Lee

Aloha Parents,

Tamayo Sensei is working with the Kindergarten students on a Ninja performance for the Spring Program on Friday, April 25th.  She would prefer all miniature Ninjas to wear a long sleeve plain black t-shirt and long black pants (ankle length leggings are fine for the girls).  Headbands and gloves will be provided with the contributions sent in. Please let me know if there are any questions or concerns.

Mahalo for all the Better Homes and Gardens, Taste, Gourmet, etc. magazines that were brought in!  Since we are studying Dental Care and Nutrition, the keiki love the bright photos of food to cut out for their collages.

Every K-1 Valentine was tickled with your generosity as they received their little Heart Day Goodie Bags. They felt so important and loved! Arigato gozaimasu for sharing!

The 2nd Trimester ended on Friday, February 14th.  Classwork was sent home via their folder or in their recyclable bag.  Enjoy the conversations with your child about their learning as s/he has so much to share with you!

Touring the Hokule`a and Hikianalia

What a fun and learning day it was for us seeing the Hokule`a and touring her sister wa'a, the Hikianalia. The crew members told us they'd be traveling around the world. They would be sailing using the stars to guide them.  We colored pictures and wrote short messages on squares of fabric that will be sewn into a quilt. It will be given to the crew members to take with them on their voyage.
