What a busy week before Spring Break! We connected with our Massachusetts pals through Skype. Their explanation of what cellars are was of particular interest since we don't have any here. The students sang a popular song, "When Irish Eyes are Smiling". Many families will watch the St. Patrick's Day parade in their community.
The keiki were kept really busy constructing leprechaun traps and laying them out for those little Irish elves. However, the wee guys escaped and managed to create havoc with the children's toolboxes placed in other students' desks.
The highlight of the week was performing for the elderly at Kuakini Hale Pulama Mau. Muraki Sensei said that our students were well received and the perfect ambassadors. They will be remembered for many months to come.
Mimi had many photos and interesting comments for her post on the Teddy Bear blog. You can view the other K-1 students' posts on the blog too.
Parents and friends are ALWAYS encouraged to add comments to our posts. It helps us to do better and be happy.
Have a relaxing Spring Break!

High Flying Fun
Our Spring Higan Service will be held on Monday, March 14th. It is a memorial service held for our ancestors during the week of 'Higan' in March and September. The purpose of the Higan which means 'other shore' is a goal of all Buddhists. We practice the Buddha's teaching in order to cross the river from this shore of illusions to the other shore of enlightenment by practicing the six paramitas. Please dress your child appropriately for the Temple Service.
Our walking field trip to Kuakini Hale Pulama Mau, visiting older adults, will be on Friday, March 18th. They will need to wear their HMS t-shirts and sport shoes.
The keiki are continuing the addition concept. They've enjoyed adding with dominoes, coins, and working on the IWB to reinforce this concept. You can also enrich their skills everyday by:

The massive earthquake and ferocious tsunamai that hit Japan on Thursday was a tragedy that we are all sad to hear about. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the people of Japan who we share a bond and friendship with.

- playing games that involve numbers
- adding items in different groups
- making math connections when you are at home, in the sun or on the run
