Spelling Bee
Congratulations to Loeka for winning the K-2 Hawaiian Spelling Bee today! We are very proud of you. Maikaʻi!
Girl’s Day
Our class learned about Girl’s Day. It began in China and was adopted in Japan over a thousand years ago. It is celebrated on March 3 and is also known as Hina Matsuri (Doll Festival).
In some homes, Japanese families display a set of dolls and doll furniture from the ancient royal court. Some brought their dolls to class and shared. We practiced our speaking and listening skills. To celebrate Girl’s Day we also made Japanese dolls. Girl’s in Hawaii also celebrate, though not in the same way that Japanese girls do. It is a day for families to show their aloha for their daughters Hawaiian style! It was a day to learn about our cultural values across the Pacific Ocean!

Mahalo Mrs. Wicklund!
Today we celebrated Dr. Seuss’ Birthday and Read Across America. Mrs. Wicklund put on a funny hat and read to our class. We enjoyed listening to Dr. Seuss’s ABC book and thinking of words that begin with the letters of the alphabet. It was a Delightful Dr. Seuss-y day!
Our Community
Our class created and published our first class book. As authors, we wrote about our community. We visited the Kindergarten classes and read aloud to them. They enjoyed learning about different places like the Wailuku Library, Kahului Airport and Tasty Crust on our island of Maui!
