On Tuesday the kindergarteners had the pleasure of attending UHH’s production of the children’s story, Go Dog Go by PD Eastman. It was a lively performance that invited audience participation and left us all thinking seriously about the great life of a dog! I would encourage you to borrow this book as it is an easy text to read and your keiki would be highly engaged due to their experience of seeing this creative play!

Kindergarteners enjoyed venturing out into our kaiaulu, visiting the fire station and public library.
Here is a sampling of the students responses to what they saw and learned:
At the fire station…
* we saw how they get off the helicopter.
* we saw and went in the fire truck.
* we saw where they eat and sleep.
* we got to try on the fire fighter hat.
* Uncle Zac dressed in the whole suit.
* we saw the boat and how to get on it.

The kindergarten classes enjoyed another outing into our kaiaulu, visiting the radio station and a nursing home.  We learned about the many services provided by our radio operators as well as how they record commercials and the many computers they use to run the station.

Kyleigh wrote:  ”thank you for letting us talk on the microphones.”  Haylyn wrote: “thank you for showing me the big, big giant flashlight.”  Ty wrote:  ”I learned about the DJs.  They had the music.  I like talking on microphones.”

At Hale Anuenue we sang Christmas carols to the kupuna.  The children made special Christmas cards to share with them as well.  There were many smiles and hugs of appreciation as we shared our aloha there.
