Aloha! After nine years of being the elementary math specialist, I have taken on a “renewed and revised” role as the Language Arts and Math resource teacher for grades 3-5. A welcome change? Yes, indeed! With this, I have moved down and near the upper elementary teachers and their haumana.
If you have any questions or would like me to assist you in finding resources in the area of language arts and math, please do not hesitate to call or email me.
This year our `Ohana Math Night travels off-campus to the `Imiloa! Kumu Marcie and I are very excited to provide this opportunity to experience all that the `Imiloa has to offer. You will be able to watch a movie in the planetarium and go on a scavenger hunt through the exhibition hall! Water and cookies will be served as well.
A flyer and registration form was sent home earlier this week. Deadline is this Friday, March 14th, to register and pay a minimal fee of $2.00 per person. Don’t miss out on a fun-filled night! Hope to see you there!
Congratulations goes out to Ms. Fullertonʻs class for coming in first place in the K-2 division and mastering a total of 514 skills in the second trimester. In a close second was Kumu Kaleoʻs class with 506 skills. Kumu Coonʻs class came in third with 409 skills.
In grades 3-5, it was also a very close race amongst the top three classes. However, in the end the standings were; in the third place, with a total of 639 skills, Mrs. Ah Heeʻs class. In second place, with 678 skills, Mrs. Paiʻs class. And in first place, with only 8 more skills and a total of 686 skills, Kumu Silvaʻs class!
Both Ms. Fullertonʻs and Kumu Silvaʻs class will be enjoying their pizza party on Tuesday, February 25th. So stay tuned for pics and a posting on their party!
Congratulations to all of our classes and their hard work this past trimester. Keep up the great work!
Students in my current grade 4 FLOW group worked on a project in which the task was to design a floor plan for our po`o kumu, Mrs. Kanehailua. Students studied actual floor plans and learned about how to calculate square footage. They also worked on calculating the costs of some of the possible materials and supplies in order to build the home. They were amazed at how much building a home really costs! In the end, Mrs. Kanehailua listened to a short presentation from each student and was able to view their floor plans. She could not get herself to choosing just one home design. Mahalo for your time Mrs. Kanehailua!
