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!

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!

Presidents' Day

Presidents' Day is a holiday when we remember the birthday of two famous Presidents.  We learned where they were born, what they did, and how they became Presidents. Our class made pictures and wrote sentences about them.  You're invited to visit K-1 to see our work.
