Congratulations to the keiki in the pic below for making it into our 100 Club! These keiki mastered their multiplication facts and proved it by scoring 100% on a timed test. Their hard work and dedication to studying really paid off. On Monday these students will celebrate this great accomplishment by partaking in a pizza party at lunch.

One of the expectations of 4th Grade is that the haumāna enter the new school year with mastery of their basic multiplication facts. It is very important that ALL haumāna continue to study these consistently throughout the summer months. When school starts, the students who invested time to study during their vacation will truly be thankful.

Congratulations to Alex for winning the Yogurtland gift card! He was the lucky student to win the prize for January. Students that earn at least seven medals in IXL.com for the month are placed in a drawing for the gift card. Many of our 3B students were in the drawing because of their hard work in IXL. Remember, you can go on any time to practice the skills you need to work on. It doesn’t have to just be the time it is assigned for homework. Tomorrow is the last day for February, so checkout how many medals you have so far. If you’re close to having seven, don’t give up. Practice until you get it!

As a class, we came in second place for the 2nd Trimester for the greatest amount of medals earned (for grades 3-5). Ho’omaika’i! Continue to strive for excellence!

Mrs. Hara paid a visit to Kina’u Pod this morning to talk about Kula Ha’aha’a's incentive program for this school year. Flyers were sent home today giving haumana and ‘ohana the details of this exciting program that encourages the use of IXL.com to strengthen students’ math skills. 3B is off to a great start with many students already earning a prize from the treasure box for mastering seven (7) skills this month already!

Keep on working hard on IXL.com, students! Maybe we will win the trimester prize and have ourselves a pizza party! Yum, yum!
