Earlier in the year, Mrs. Pai’s class took part in a lemonade-making math lesson which integrated skills such measurement, ratio, and proportions. As a culminating activity to our lemonade math lesson, as well as a means of modeling sustainability, papa `elima was able to plant their own Meyer lemon tree. We hope it will someday provide our kula with many lemons to make our own lemonade. Soon our fifth graders will pass on the kuleana in caring for this plant to our fourth graders. Mahalo to Mrs. Pai for purchasing the lemon tree, and to our awesome grounds crew: Uncle Kenny, Uncle Kawika, and Uncle Greg in assisting us with this project. Finally, thank you to Mrs. Samura for her time and showing us how a simple activity such as making lemonade can incorporate so much math! <\/p>\n
