We have begun an exciting new collaboration with a school in Papeete, Tahiti! Our Kindergarten and Third Grade students will be working with them using Skype throughout the rest of this and all of next year.
We cannot wait to learn all about them and are excited about teaching them about our community, Hawaiian language, and culture.
During our first Skype sessions with them we introduced ourselves to them and sang songs for each other. We learned that there are many words in the Tahitian language that sound like the Hawaiian language! We also learned some French words like Bravo! We also learned that Aloha in Tahitian is Iaorana!
Here are some video clips of our first Skype sessions. We are so excited about this project!
