Dear class of 2020,
I was in Mr.Chung’s class and I can say you’re gonna have tons of fun! I’m never going to have another year like fifth grade. At times I had some challenges,and your new teachers, Mr.Chung and Mrs.Burgess helped me get through it. They made me perservere or ho’omau which is very important to do if you want to become succesful in your life. Mr.Chung has so many life lessons for you. When he’s talking, think about what he’s saying and apply that to your life. Mr.Chung also loves to play videos or movies, which makes it easier for most students to learn. In fifth grade, I didn’t pay attention all the time, and it would always get me back. Listen and learn. There are plenty to things to look foward to. I can’t tell you all of them, but for now I’ll just say, if you work hard, your teachers are going to reward you. If you goof off, they’re gonna be on your case all year, it’s your choice. Mr.Chung and Mrs. Burgess are the type of people who want you to strive to do your best. GOOD ENOUGH NEVER IS. Be thankful for your teachers, they’re gonna prepare you for the future. And don’t ever EVER try to trick them. You can’t fool them. (
Love, your big sister, Marissa
class of 2017.
GOOD LUCK !

Hey Mr.Chungs students:)
The Class of 2017 would just like to say that Mr. Chung ROCKS THE MATH WORLD!!!!!!!!
Just be sure that you listen to him and take all of his advice seriously. He’ll help you if you’re a not good listener, or someone who doesn’t like to do work. Well. All I’m just tryin to say is that, love your 5th grade year, because 6th grade will be no easier. But to give you a heads up, you’re 5th grade play will be the most exciteing moment of your life.:)

Hi Mr. Chung this is Wongy and JPEG. We are at my (Nick’s) house and decided to post on your website. We just got back from playing at Hickam par 3. See you on soon (unless you kick us out again).
August 9th, 2012 at 3:53 pm
I think that it will be a great year because, I have great teachers and they seem really nice
. I got the best teachers. But I think I’ll just have to find out if it will be a good year or not 
it just depends.
August 9th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
Today was totally awesome. I had a great time in class with all my friends and new fifth grade teachers. With Mr.Chung in his class we counted to 999,999,999,999 in Hawaiian. I thought it was pretty awesome. Mr. Chung also gave the class a TAI. While we were with Mrs.Burgess she taught us about courage and also read us a book called The Dot. The homework she gave us is fun because you get to use our imagination and draw it out. Well anyway I had a great day and I am excited for tomorrow.
August 9th, 2012 at 5:00 pm
Dear Mr. Chung (and students),
I had a great day today and I hoped you had a great day too. At the beginning of the day I was feeling really nervous because I was at a new school with new teachers, new classes, and different students. I was also excited because I get to go to a private school with a lot of resources.
I learned that Ma’ema’e (my old school) is a lot different from Kamehameha because I have a lot more teachers, I get to serve my own food, and I speak a lot more Hawaiian.
I hope I can catch up on a lot of things that I missed since I am coming into 5th grade and not a “normal grade” and I think I am really going to like it here.
August 9th, 2012 at 5:18 pm
My first impression is that we are going to be learning a ton of things this year. I’ll need to practice my Hawaiian language since I definitely will be using a lot of it. I learned how to count to the billions in Hawaiian today. Also, I think that it is pretty cool that I get to switch to a different teacher for another subject.
August 9th, 2012 at 5:50 pm
I think this year will be the best year to show what I can do in school and what I can do best like playing sports after school for the school team. I also think it will be a great year because I made some friends in our class even some new people from fourth grade and some old students even my best friends our in my class and our buddy class. I learned how to count to 999,999,999,999 billion in Hawaiian.I kind of ecspected fith grade to be boring but actuly it is really fun and Mrs.Burgess is really funny.
August 9th, 2012 at 5:50 pm
Today I met my super fun teachers. I learned how to say big numbers in Hawaiian. I had fun doing the dots and squiggles page.
I expect to enjoy doing the fifth grade play. I also expect to learn something new everyday.
August 9th, 2012 at 6:22 pm
Today I was expecting to see a lot of my old classmates, warm welcomes, and a morning full of ”getting to know you worksheets and maybe one or two games.”
I did see some of my old classmates including my best friend. There was welcomes but just the same old first day ones. My morning was not full of ”getting to know you worksheets or games,” it was actually unpacking , talking about our pets and how chickens are a pet, and sharing about where we went this summer. I also learned a lot today, from any where to learning how to count to 900,000,000 in hawaiian in a half an hour, figuring out what the word ”variables” means, or knowing what Japanese, Chinese, and French pop music sounds like. Before I came to school I was a little scared… But not terrified. I was still trying to sink in the fact that I was in fifth grade now and that I am not in Kumu Farias’ class any more:( But over all about the whole day I think that it went pretty good for a first day.
August 9th, 2012 at 6:41 pm
Hi Mr. Chung. I know you are going to check so I’ll make this as good as possible. My first impression of fifth grade is that it is going to be a really awesome year. Well, maybe except for the homework which is going to be no walk in the park but like you said if I tried my hardest, I am sure I can get the job done. The main thing I learned was how to count to a billion in Hawaiian or maybe at least a million because there is no B in the Hawaiian dialect. I also learned how to say may I use the bathroom the right way in Hawaiian and not makemake au e hele i ka lua. I also think that since I have a sister in third grade at Kamehameha I should warn her about being sharp on her math skills, language arts skills and Hawaiian or else you’ll probably fall behind. I look forward to being in your class this year. Treyton, Papa Wailele.
August 9th, 2012 at 7:27 pm
I really enjoyed our new teachers and how they think positive about what we can do and about how we can reach our goals. I learned about having courage and learned how to say numbers in Hawaiian all the way to the billions. I expect to have a great fun learning year and learning about history. Oh to Mr. Chung and Mrs. Burgess, I think for the whole with grade, you guys will rock. Have a great year.
August 9th, 2012 at 7:46 pm
Today I felt pretty bummed because it was the first day of school but as the day went on I felt better. Today I learned how to count to bilions in Hawaiian and how things go in 5th grade. I think im going to learn a lot over the school year with Mr. Chung and Mrs. Burgess.
August 9th, 2012 at 8:01 pm
Hi, today I was shocked about how much Hawaiian we were speaking, I’m practicing more at home. My TAI was easy, I’m already on pg.7.
I learned how to count to 999,999,999,999 in hawaiian.
I was wondering if biliona is a hawaiian word because “b” isn’t a hawaiian letter.
August 9th, 2012 at 8:29 pm
Hi Mr. Chung,
Today was a great day. I loved that we were speaking so much hawaiian. Today I learned how to count 999,999,999,999 in Hawaiian. When you first said we were doing that I thought it would be impossible but you made it really easy and fun. My first impression was scared because i didn’t know you that well, but now I am really glad I got you because you are super nice.
August 9th, 2012 at 8:33 pm
I was excited to go back to school and to have Mr. Chung as my teacher! It was good to see my classmates again. It was fun to learn how to count to 999,999,999,999 in Hawaiian! I am excited to learn to count in Hawaiian better. Mrs. Burgess is a nice teacher and it was fun to work on my squiggly homework. In Ms. Burgess class, I learned that courage is used everyday.
Thank you Mr. Chung, and Ms. Burgess for a good first day of school.
August 9th, 2012 at 8:54 pm
My first impression about this year was that it was gonna be totally awesome!!! I was excited to be in the 5th grade atrium and I was so amazed at the fact that we got to 999,999,999,9999 in Hawaiian! Mr.Chung’s method made it fun and easy. I have to admit I was so nervous. I thought I was gonna struggle in math but Mr. Chung helped me learn to just practice and to just do the best I can. When we went to Mrs. Burgess` class for language arts and social studies, I had a lot of fun reading and drawing. I also learned a lot about my Hawaiian culture. I learned how we lost our culture and that was the reason that Mr. Chung was teaching us more Hawaiian. I was also real nervous about learning how to ask to go to the bathroom so I am working on it with my sister! I look forward to having many learning adventures this school year1! ALOHA, La`akea. P.S. T.A.I. is AWESOME!!!
August 9th, 2012 at 9:10 pm
Today I was pretty tired. I have had 4 years of practice but going through a change of waking up at 9:00 everyday to waking up at 5:15 everyday is very hard. I was so excited. I was really hoping that I would have at least one of my friends in my class. I am so happy that person was Anela. Some things we learned today were: counting to large numbers in Hawaiian, what courage is, and expectations for fifth grade. I can’t wait for our fifth grade play. My brother told me it is so exciting. His teacher was Mrs. Sharrer. Well I probably should get to sleep. I hope tomorrow is a good one.
August 9th, 2012 at 9:21 pm
Today I was surprised that we could learn to count in Hawaiian so fast after only 30 minutes we were pretty good at it. I learned how to count to 999,999,999,999. I expect to have a fun and great fifth grade year because you guys seem so fun.
August 9th, 2012 at 9:32 pm
Dear Mr.Chung,
I think you are really hallarious and cool. I think that japanese pop is really funny compared to american pop. OMG,Today we counted all the way up to 999,999,999,999 in hawaiian. I think this year will be great and we will learn alot more hawaiian. At the begining of the day I thought that 5th grade will be really hard and serious,but to my surprise 5th grade is just like any other year. I think the teachers make learning a whole lot more fun.
August 9th, 2012 at 9:32 pm
1)today I thought would be boring but it was exciting and fun for me and the whole class. It was great getting to know some students that i didn’t know before. I love the classes I had today it was great getting to build things in science and reading books in the media center.
2) I learned the basic way of how to make a pendulum or know as a swinger. Also I learned the signing of hawaiian numbers.The last thing I learned the story courage and dots.
3) I hope to strive to goals and looking forth to the 5th grade play aloha.
August 9th, 2012 at 11:34 pm
Today I thought it would be all introductions to everything, but we actually got to do stuff. We counted to a billion in hawaiian in half an hour, and it surprised me that it was that fast. We read two books: The Dot, and Courage. They were really short books. This year I think will be easier than I thought.
August 9th, 2012 at 11:49 pm
I thought today was scary for because new classmates and a new teacher.After everything was over I was happy that I made it through the whole day.I was surprise that I count to 999,999,999,999 in Hawaiian.I hope I make my goals and learn more for a better future.
August 10th, 2012 at 9:00 am
MY FRIST DAY WAS AWSOME! When I found out I had Mr Chung I was jumping around the room because he was the funniest teacher ever. Plus we did math in hawaiian to the billions. That was the best first day ever. Also my classmates were the best. To everyone HAVE A GREAT YEAR!!!!!!!!
August 10th, 2012 at 9:04 am
I was so scared because I bought I didn’t know anybody in my class.
But right when I saw the etcher and the class and all my friends i thought thins was going to be the best school year ever! 
It turned out very great I even meet a new student. Mr. Chung I think your really funny and that japanese pop was awesome. I have a japanese name its Suki it means to love
August 10th, 2012 at 9:07 am
BEAT DAY!!!!!!!!!
August 10th, 2012 at 9:09 am
Best Day Ever!!!!!!!!
August 10th, 2012 at 9:15 am
The first day I was nervous but after I got to meet him I was thinking that this school year was to be fun. I was mixed up because I got to school and I was late so did not know where to go then I kind of got LOST. But I found my class. I also got too meet buddies they looked nervous. I think its going to be fun this school year.
August 10th, 2012 at 9:18 am
When I first got into my class I thought school was just going to be a little bland but throughout the day everything got more interesting. Mr.Chun wasn’t the only thing that fascinated me, when he taught us Hawaiian I was amazed with his language pronunciation. I am glad to be in Mr.chun’s class.
August 10th, 2012 at 9:19 am
mr. Chun is playing chinese pop
August 10th, 2012 at 9:19 am
The first day of school for me was nervous because I had a new teacher, a new grade, and differrent people in the class. I was quiet on the first day but then I got used to being around the class. The first special we had was Hawaiian Language then P.E. We learned how to say 999,999,999,999 in Hawaiian. It was hard but we had hand motions to help us so it was easy.
August 10th, 2012 at 6:08 pm
Heyyy it’s Mr. Chung, not Mr. Chun….
….Get your facts straight
August 10th, 2012 at 6:13 pm
Can’t wait for Kaleo’s dramatic seen in our fifth grade play
d:D>

************************************************************************************ Hahahahahahahahahahhahahhaaahahhaahahahhaha
August 10th, 2012 at 6:29 pm
On the first day of school I barely even spoke because I am usually nervous on the first day of school. I also learned how to count to 999,999,999,999 in hawaiian in just 30 minutes! Mr.Chung is a really great teacher and my friend Makela said that and she also said to play the fung brothers,
August 10th, 2012 at 7:50 pm
Hello!!!!
I was nervous and excited about starting school. I had no idea that my teachers would be SO NICE!!! I could not believe that we could count all the way up to 999,999,999,999 in Hawaiian yesterday! I also had LOTS OF FUN today, playing the 5th grade mixer games!! I had no favorite I loved all of them!! Also, the Icee Ice Pops were so refreshing!!! AWESOME!!!
I wonder what we will do on Monday!
August 10th, 2012 at 9:00 pm
On Thursday in the morning it started off pretty good and I learned how to count in Hawaiian up to about a billion. And at the end of the day we went to language arts and did some drawings out of dots and scribbles. Then on Friday I learned about swingers and what they are in science and we also went to hi’ilei media center and got some books. Then at the end of the day we had five games to play with the whole fith grade like one of them was the under over game and so far the two days were fine.
August 10th, 2012 at 9:22 pm
Hi Mr. Chung!!! On the 1st day of school I was kinda nervous. When Mr.Chung said funny stuff it made me more comfortable. Yesterday I learned how to count to 999,999,999,999 in hawaiian. It seemed really hard at first but it started getting easier. The key was to do hand motions. In Mrs. Burgess class she read to us about courage and The Dot. I enjoyed doing the dots and squiggles H.W. because you could be creative. I am looking forward to making new friends this year! Bye!!!!:) See you guys on Monday!
August 10th, 2012 at 9:50 pm
Today we had band. All we did was talk and have the “Grand Tour” of the new band room. But the percussion instruments were out and the drums were so shiny they gave me black dots in my vision. I wanted to try them.
August 10th, 2012 at 9:51 pm
Today was fun at the end of the day we had a fifth grade mixer we played a few different games it was fun at the end we had icee ice pops it was yummy. In the morning we had language arts after recess we had band then we went to music this year music was a little different because this year we have Mrs.Bright
August 11th, 2012 at 11:53 am
Yesterday was AWESOME!!!!!!!!
(;
August 11th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
Hahahaha!! I made the face backwords
August 11th, 2012 at 3:37 pm
Yesterday was fun! We learned about counting in Hawaiian from one to a billion and about courage and using your imagination. In music we reviewed our keyboard notes and in band we learned about different instruments. I hope the school year is going to be fun!!! I still have to get used to waking up at 5:00 everyday. I DO NOT want to run a mile again in P.E. Our homework was easy and fun and I hope we always get fun homework!
August 11th, 2012 at 5:18 pm
The first day of school was very surprising! I was a little nervous. But when I talked to a sixth grader about Mrs.Burgess, I was very excited. I’ve made some new friends and have met my new teachers. I’ve learned to count 999,999,999,999, in hawaiian in Mr.Chungs class (and that he’s funny:D). I think that this going to be a good year because it’s been awesome these two days. TEACHERS ROCK>o<!!
August 11th, 2012 at 8:30 pm
Hi everyone! The first day of school was great. Mr. Chung taught us how to count all the way up to 999,999,999,999 in hawaiian. When I got to school on the first day, I thought it was going to be hard and I thought teachers were going to be strict but it turned out to be awesome. Mr. Chung and Mrs. Burgess turned out to be REALY nice. I think this year is gonna be a blast!
August 11th, 2012 at 11:07 pm
Hi this is hunter,
I had an AWESOME day on thursday. I learned so many things. I learned how to count to 999,999,999,999 in Hawaiian. I think this year is going to be a blast with Mr. Chung and Mrs. Burgess.
August 12th, 2012 at 11:48 am
Friday was awesome! The fifth grade mixer was soooooooooo fun! counting in hawaiian to 999,999,999,999 amused me. In band practice the grand tour was well, fun? I’ve heard alot about mr. chung that he is the best teacher ever! I hope that’s true. Mrs. Burgess gives us alot of fun homework and she’s really nice.
August 12th, 2012 at 1:41 pm
Yesterday I made a real engine. It worked but the spark-plugs fired at the wrong time so we have to adjust the camshaft today. I saw Tyler’s sister and Chelsey perform at an 808 dance project performance at Leeward college. It was cool and funny.
August 12th, 2012 at 8:29 pm
The first day of school was awesome. I mean, who would guess that we would learn so much on the first day? One of these things were the fact that we learned how to count to 999,999,999,999 in Hawaiian. At first, I was real drowsey in the morning , as always after a long break. But, the day warmed up and I was feeling better. I thought the cool thing was how Mr.Chung and Mrs.Burgess had an intertwined classroom schedule. That way, you can get twice the knowledge and skills in one class period.
I this year will be a blast!
August 12th, 2012 at 9:08 pm
we r going to have a great year with our AWESOME teachers!! i learned how to count to a billion in hawaiian. i expect to learn a lot of math
August 12th, 2012 at 9:51 pm
On the first day of school I thought all of the teachers would be nice. And I was right.It was very fun counting in Hawaiian up to 999,999,999,999 in Mr. Chung class.And in Mrs Burgess’s class Dots and Squiggles were fun.All my teachers were very nice and my first day of school yuned out well after all. Now I love going to school
August 13th, 2012 at 5:54 am
The first week of school was FUN!!! I was nervous and excited on the first day. Mrs. Burgess is a great homeroom teacher. The dots and squiggles assignment was pretty cool and fun. Mr. Chung is the best teacher. Counting in Hawaiian from 1 to 999,999,999,999 was awesome and a little challenging;) The 5th grade mixer was AWESOME and extra fun, especially with the ICEE pops. I hope for a fun year:);)
August 13th, 2012 at 12:27 pm
The first week of school was a blast! I learned how to count to 999,999,999,999 in hawaiian and and we are learning how to tell time in hawaiian in Mr.Chungs class.In Mrs Burgesess class, she assigned Dots and squiggles. It is fun to use your imagination to draw pictures.
August 13th, 2012 at 12:37 pm

On the first day I was kind of nervous. We got a TAI math booklet it is cool!
August 13th, 2012 at 12:47 pm
I had a great first 2 days of school. Mr.Chung taught us how to count to 999,999,999,999 in hawaiian. I got ….LOST…. during that counting so high and trying to do it on my own wasn’t to fun either. I got confused. TAI is kind of cool to. I learned alot on the first day. I really think this will be a fun year.
I’m looking forward to 5th grade play!!
August 13th, 2012 at 6:55 pm

August 13th, 2012 at 8:47 pm
Hey Hey Hey Mr.Chung I had an AWESOME day today. I LOVE to speak Hawaiin Language. I really wish our island wasn’t overthrown so we could experience old Hawai’i. I also would like to see my little sister Harley get into Kamehameha Schools and learn Hawaiin Language.

Hi Mr. Chung!
Thanks for teaching us how to tell time in Hawaiian yesterday! It was so fun!! Thanks for also showing us a video of what happened since our island was overthrown. Now I know that I am truly a hawaiian!!

August 14th, 2012 at 6:24 pm

August 17th, 2012 at 6:08 pm
This week was really fun I am really getting to know my teachers super well as they are with me. I learned a lot this week about our Hawaiian ancestors and about Christopher Colombus who “discoverd” the Hawaiian Islands. I am getting really interested into learning about these different thinking and opinions that the Hawaiians have about their culture. It makes me sad and angry that back then and now people do slavery it is just not right!!! Something should be done about it now!! Anyway I am really excited for this year with Mr.Chung and Mrs. Burgess and the other fifth graders as well as the other fifth grade teachers. I can not wait for the fifth grade play it will be so fun and it also will be a great memory for me and for everybody! I made a new friend who is a new student and seems to have a lot of friends!!
~~ YOUR FRIEND NOE!!!

We have the best and fastest Air Force. The British HAD the best and fastest Navy, and the Romans HAD the best and fastest Land Army. We all once dominated one major part of war. But if a country had space, then they could control the world. China is looking to do that. They… want… the Moon.
August 21st, 2012 at 6:39 pm
I am really liking 5th grade so far and my best event or special that happened was last week Friday at Convocation!!! It was super fun. One of the girls in my class Tara was one of the 5th grade runners. She did awesome! I had a great time at convocation it is a time that I will never forget.
Now we are learning about Hawaiian cultures and are switching off and on with different teachers in 5th grade called the Pu’uloa rotations were we are learning something new from each of the fifth grade Kumu. I am so happy about this year and really looking forward to this year! So far the teachers I have visited were Mrs. Aweau, Mrs. Sharrer, and Mrs, Chang!
~~ YOUR FRIEND NOE!!
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:46 pm
Today we had our Pu’uloa rotations. The teachers that we saw today were Mrs. Ohia, Mrs. Chang, and Mrs. Aweau. I had fun in all of the classes. In the first class we were listening to her talk about different stories of the past and she also talked about the hot spot and how it doesn’t move. In our second class we went over stories too! We also did one worksheet and talked about fishponds and the Ahupua’a. In our last class we watched a video about different fishponds all over the island. After that we colored these pictures and that’s all we did in our Pu’uloa rotations.

My Mom said that you want to set up IXL. I recommend Kahn Academy. I did it over the summer and it worked wonders it has videos to teach you. It brings school home. Thanks! :p

Hi Mr. Chung, Sorry to contact you this way, but I know how busy you must be. It was nice to meet you last night. Nainoa really enjoys both you and Mrs. Burgess. He mentioned to me that he wrote you on the blog about Khan Academy. We found out about it on the news. Bill Gates even uses this for his children. It’s completely free and has millions of lessons I think. Nainoa enjoys this better than worksheets. We saw that a school in Texas even uses Khan Academy to teach the children at night, then they review with their teacher anything that they did not understand. Hope this is helpful. Blessings, Vicky Arincorayan

This week of school was awesome! I am looking forward to learning complex algerbra. If I get stuck on the worksheets i can ask my older brother help and Im sure he will help me since he is good at math. Today in Mrs. Chang’s class I had a blast!! I love when we do Pu’uloa rotations because I have so much fun learning and sharing my Mana’o with different teachers. Anyway In Mrs. Chang’s class It was fun because we got to “debate in court” the leeward side stealing our ( the Hawaiians) water and making go down their side is debating against the windward side ( woo hoo!!) who is trying to get back our water that the leeward people stole. We want the water to grow plants and food for everyone. It is not that we want to be greedy with the water is is that we want to provide everyone with something healthy. I am debating on the windward side and I am looking forward to my next class with Mrs. Chang or Mrs. Burgess so we can debate!!! I am so excited!

Today was AWESOME!! I am getting more comfortable with algebra. I am happy that I finished my first TAI and now I am on my second one. I cant believe that a girl named Joy finished her second TAI and we just got them. I am looking forward to tomorrow when we have Pu’uloa rotations with three of the fifth grade teachers.
August 27th, 2012 at 8:41 pm
NUMQUAM CEDE!(Latin for never give up) That is the main idea for algebra this year. 24 in the beginning, 9 in the end. And Mr. Chung, is it true that North Korea is invading South Korea with the North Korean Special Operations Forces(NKSPF)? And will they actually start World War III?
August 28th, 2012 at 4:56 pm
Today we had Pu’uloa rotations. I had a blast in Mrs. Chang’s class with the debate and guess who won? ….. NOBODY!! Both leeward and Windward were strong and did well so nobody was better. In Mrs. Aweau’s I had really awesome time making charts about what we learned and doing other fun things! In Mrs. Sharrer’s class I has SOO much fun. We acted out scripts and my part was Jeanne. I am sad that we won’t be seeing the other fifth grade teachers teach us in there classrooms anymore. I really like all of the teachers. I am looking forward to this week and our next Pu’uloa rotation!!

Today we learned about Algebra and we did some worksheets. It was really hard. I am sure I will get it and learn it better some time. Some people one person in my class named Tara got her first worksheet all correct with no errors. That means she moves on to a harder level. Good job Tara!! I guess I just need to work harder, listen better, try more and believe that I can do this and that anything is possible. I have faith in myself and I know that I can do this. I am ready to do my worksheet!! I am ready for all of my challenges tomorrow!! I am excited. :0

Today we didn’t actually do any worksheets on Algebra. Today we had Pu’uloa rotations with Mrs. Chang twice and Mrs. Ohia once. When we finished with Pu’uloa rotations we went back to Mr. Chung and practiced our Hawaiian Language. It was challenging but also fun. For lunch we had sandwich bar our choices were egg salad, Tuna, Ham, Turkey and then we had soup!!! I LOVED the soup so much I got seconds. The soup today was chicken noodle soup with cooked vegetables. It was ono!
Today was a great day and i am sure tomorrow will be too ! 
August 31st, 2012 at 4:48 pm
This week was very fun. I had a great time with each and every teacher and learned something with every teacher!!
The Algebra is very confusing, Challenging, and complex for me. I am sure I will get it soon. This weekend I will work on it and with my parents and brother and then I am sure I will be better at it when I come back to school on Tuesday.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:12 pm
I can’t figure out my algebra problems!!! It’s so hard-I mean challenging, yeah, challenging
September 3rd, 2012 at 8:58 am
This weekend I went to my brothers basketball clinic, game. I also went to my mom’s work while we were waiting for my brother to finish clinic. When he was done we went to his game. Today when we go to my brothers clinic again I will work on my TAI and try to get some of that done.

Today we did a lot of fun things. We did Algebra, Lit. Circle roles, got our money ($250), got our jobs( I am a clerk with Anela, Makana and me), we also had music combo, guidance, and band!! For lunch today we had Portuguese Bean Soup. It was awesome !!! In algebra I am so happy I didn’t quit yet and don’t think I will! I am getting close to passing step one. Tomorrow I wonder if it will be a good day and we will have a lot of fun which I am sure we will I am almost positive! Something like about Mr. Chung is that he plays Ganham Style! It is awesome. Something I like about Mrs. Burgess is that she lets us do a lot of fun things in class like work with other teachers when we do our Lit. Circle roles!! See you all tomorrow!
September 7th, 2012 at 5:20 pm
I finally got past one step… to find that two step is harder
September 8th, 2012 at 8:12 am
Today was very very very FUN!! I am getting closer and closer to passing one step and i hope i will get there soon! I agree with you Keola I am very excited to pass one step but I am also thinking that if I pass one step it would lead me to two step. A harder level so I really agree with you.
Mr. Chung I really like Ganham Style it is played on the radio now and is getting popular! Mrs. Burgess you are awesome because all of the work that you give out is super duper fun!!!! I am getting ready to eat breakfast and I will do my senses worksheet( Smells and taste) thank you for giving out the best and fun-nest HW ever you rock Mrs. Burgess and Mr. Chung I am so happy and thankful to be in your class Have a great weekend everyone and be safe!! see you all on Monday !

Today after second recess our class and Mrs. Burgess class got together in our room and we watched a video on Michio Kakau. We took notes on our sheet of paper that Mrs. Burgess printed out for us that had Topic in one box Details in one and Response in the other. Some things that I learned about Michio Kakau was he was interested in Physics when he was only 8 years old, He was hooked up with Flash Gordon. My response after everything we learned was: To me, math and science is really important because if we didn’t have math or science we wouldn’t have technology or electronics. Math and science is also important because when you get older you want to get a good job and make money to survive. So to me math and Science is important to the world. I need to work on my math and Science.

Today is Sept. 11 a day that we will never ever forget….
Today we learned that on Sept.11 2001 a tourist snuck past security with knives, got onto a plane( 4 ) of them planes and managed to open the door to the pilot and killed the pilots with the knives he had snuck. He told the passengers to stay calm. Then he headed towards the twin towers and Pentagon and knocked over the two twin towers which there were more than 3,000 people in the building it was so sad! I feel so bad for all the people that were in the building and God bless them. I send all of my prayers up to heaven to all of those who died on Sept.11! My question that I need to find out and answer to is ” Why do people choose to do things that are so bad and that will affect the whole country or state”? Why do people dod that? It just hurts me and I am sure somebody else in this world that our heavenly Father made for us is wondering the same thing too. And I hope that there question will be answer too!
God Bless America!!!!
September 11th, 2012 at 3:10 pm
Why do you think that Osama Bin Laden and his gang did such a bad choice that would change America???? I am just wondering.
September 14th, 2012 at 5:39 pm
Aloha!!!!
Mr Chung, are you going to put up the pictures from open house and our field trip soon? I want to see it!
I want to see how well the pictures that we took today came out!
I liked going on the boat ride! 
The museums were also pretty neat! The memorial made me feel so emotional. I got all sad when I saw all those names on the wall. Thank You for the 1st field trip 5th grade! See you on Monday!!! 
Our 1st field trip was AWESOME!!!
Bye!!!!

Aloha! How are you guys all feeling? I am feeling great, still thinking about the blast I had at Pu’uloa. When we arrived I knew that I would be having so much fun…! First we went to the museum, then the movie theatre, after the movie we exited out the back door and then went on a ferry out to the Arizona memorial. It was sad looking at all the names of the people that died. We threw our flowers over the memorial onto the USS Arizona. It was cool seeing the oil coming out from the ship. I can’t believe that oil still comes up from a long long time ago. I also had a lot of fun on the pretend ship were you could press all these buttons and do all these fun things and pretend that you were the pilot of the ship! It was fun and I hope that I can go back again with my family and have fun! See you all on Monday and have a great weekend!

Today we had our first swimming class for P.E . It was really fun! I am in the second group with Mrs. Tagami. When we first got up to the new swimming pool we changed into our clothes, rinsed off, took role and then went in the pool. Today we did breast stroke, free style, back stroke, and this other move that I do not remember what it is called. I had a fun time today in P.E. I cannot wait for the next class.
September 25th, 2012 at 6:22 pm
So far in school with Mr.Chung I have been learning more and more of math and different ways to do it. With Mrs. Burgess I have been doing a lot of language Arts and writing. We are learning to write with Colourful Language, Similies, and other writing tools. I think I need to work on my math and writing with more detail. I am sure though that I will improve on that.
October 3rd, 2012 at 5:01 pm
Today was enrichment day and we had specials all day because some students had their parent teacher conferences. In most of the classes we did something different than what we would usually do because we didn’t want anyone to miss out on anything important. Today 4 people from our class was absent. On Friday I will be having my teacher conference. Today was both fun and exhausting. I feel bad for the people who missed out on this busy day because they probably would have had fun. I hope that Anela and Kala’i are having a fun time on their trip to Disneyland.

HHHHHEEEEEYYYYY!!!!! I finally finished the ADVANCED DIVISION TAI book!!!!!! YAY!! But the sad news is……..We have to do INTRO TO FRACTIONS TAI book now!!
November 1st, 2012 at 6:34 pm
What was everybody for halloween when they got home? I was the same thing…. CINDERELLA!!!!! Although I had to hold up my dress to walk. And that was the whole time! I still had a lot of fun! I even got a fake witch finger! Creepy right?
Okay, IT TOOK ME OVER 3 HOURS TO GET HOME!!! But when I eventually did get home it was like 6:00.
But it is still better than getting to the bus stop at 6:30. The trafic was terrible!! A rubish truck hit the median of the free way! Can you believe that? How is that even possible?
November 6th, 2012 at 7:50 pm
Okay now that my TAI is corrected I have pages and pages to correct! I got whole pages wrong! I knew that I wasn’t doing them right, and I corrected some before handing the book in, but I didn’t know that I did all of these pages the wrong way!
And I thought that I was finished! 
BOOH, BOOH HOO HOO!!

Today was a very special day. Today was my first volley ball game against Iolani.
And we won! 
But guess who I saw………. Kelsey! You know, Kelsey, Kelsey Wong. From last year. Yah. In the beginning of the year I didn’t even know that she left! And I didn’t know that we had a new student in our grade! I feel kind of bad. I was the last to know.
