Charles Reed Bishop Learning Center

What is the job of an illustrator? “Someone who draws the picture!” says Ethan.  “You’re absolutely correct!” says Kumu Kanani.  Papa Mālaa’o have been learning about the parts of the book (title, author, illustrator). And alongside this learning, they been learning some important concepts like: The life cycle of a butterfly, Recycling, and Friendship.  To end our unit, we made a friendship salad using yummy ingredients like fruit cocktail that represented friends who visit the library, and marshmallows which represented “kind words” that we use when speaking to our friends.  Our Friendship Salad reminded us about how we need to treat one another; using kind words and ALWAYS being NICE!
