Fun Fall Activities

For Halloween, Smokey the Bear and his friends from the Department of Land and Natural visited to talk about Fire Safety. The children also made “Pumpkin Pie in a Cup” and had fun goofing around with some photo props. Can you guess who we are?

Mahalo, KMS!

On Friday, Nov. 18 our big brothers and sisters in the Middle School organized some Maker Space Thanksgiving Day activities for all the First Graders. The children made Candy Corn Turkey Cookies and a Thanksgiving bracelet. They also played Topple the Teepee Game using pencils and a Thanksgiving Matching game. It was great to see the First Graders interact with the older students in such a fun and positive way. Mahalo, KMS!

Carving Pumpkins

October is ending with a blast! The children got together with their 3rd grade buddies to carve pumpkins, dig out the pulp, and separate the seeds. Next week, the first graders will work as a team to count the seeds by grouping them in ones, tens, and hundreds. Mahalo to all the parents who donated pumpkins (the Ohtaʻs, the Cabralʻs, and the Koaʻs) and to Aunty Sheri and Uncle Brandon for assisting with the carving. Wishing all a safe Halloween!

Reading “Just-Right” Books

The haumana have been busy learning and exemplifying the behaviors of readers. One of those behaviors is learning how to pick a “just-right” book (one that is not too hard or too easy). Picking a just right book is important to reading growth. Following is an acronym that the children use when selecting books that are “just-right” for them:

I PICK

How Full is Your Bucket?

The children have been learning to be “bucket-fillers” not “bucket-dippers”. Each time a child fills another person’s bucket by doing something nice for them, they in turn fill their own. The children have thought of all kinds of ways they can fill other’s buckets. Saying “Hello, do you want to play with me?”, or asking someone “Do you need some help?” are simple ways children can become bucket-fillers. IMG_3580 3

All-School Convocation

The All-School Convocation on Friday, August 19th was a wonderful opportunity for the student body K-12 to get together as one big `ohana (the only other time is Founder’s Day). KES (students and staff) opened the Convocation with Mele Ho`okipa, a mele welcoming all. The Middle School and High School dance teams also performed and Mrs. Debra Lindsey, our new po`o kula, addressed the students and faculty. The highlight for many of the children was a relay race comprised of students from Kindergarten to Grade 12. Our very own, Hi`iaka and Kahiau, represented the Class of 2028. It was a great way to start the year and build school spirit and pride.
