Students wrote narratives about characters from Color Alive app. They followed the writing process from prewriting, rough draft, editing, proofreading and final copy. A rubric was used to help them self-assess their work. They participated in speaking and listening by sharing and presenting their stories to the class.
We celebrated Boys’ Day on May 5 by making carp kites. It is a Japanese custom that began in China. Long ago warriors flew banners above the gateway of their homes to honor their sons. Flying the carp streamers encourages boys to work hard to reach high goals. Families in Hawai’i celebrate Boys’ Day to wish their boys health and happiness!
Keiki enjoyed exploring different apps on the iPad last week to prepare for next year’s 1:1 learning!
