Mrs. Hara – 7th/8th Grade Math

My apologies for a very belated congratulations to the following students for being selected in our monthly ixl drawing.  They are: Tatiana D., grade K; Koa F., grade 1; Caden P., grade 2; Alex C., grade 3; Tayzialynn E., grade 4; and Emma P., grade 5. 

Here are just a few reminders about some important dates for ixl math.  The last day to try and earn your seven skills and a prize for the month of January is…tomorrow, Thursday, January 31st!  Also the last day to help your class possibly win the pizza party for having the most skills for the second trimester is February 14th.  That’s only 15 days away!  So keep practicing!

We are very excited to have our first robotics night at our Kula Ha`aha`a!  Mark your calendars, because on Wednesday, February 27th, we have the great pleasure and priviledge of having special guests from Waiakea High School.  They will be sharing some of their robots and talk about how math and science go hand-in-hand when building these robots.  Each `ohana will also be able to build their own brushbot as well.  Don’t miss out on this opportunity to see how much fun math and science can be!

Someone once asked me if there was ever a student that was able to complete all of the skills offered in a grade level.  Well, now I can say, “Yes”.  Last month, Kyler from Mrs. Derr’s kindergarten class completed all the skills from kindergarten and has begun to tackle the first grade skills!  Way the go Kyler!  In Kumu Kaleo’s first grade class, Lucas has also completed all of the first grade skills and has moved onto the second grade list.  Awesome job, Lucas!  I can’t wait to see who else will join these boys! 

Happy New Year everyone!  Congratulations to the many students who were able to find the time in a very busy month of December to master their 7 skills on ixl!  We recently had our drawing for both the upper and lower elementary grades.  December’s winners are:  Khayden from kindergarten; Lucas from grade 1; Alohikea from grade 2; Emma Rose from grade 3; Hanalei from grade 4; and Keawe from grade 5.  Congratulations to all of these students.
