1:1 Addition
Papa ʻEkahi used Kahoot! as a fun instructional tool to show learning of addition concepts. Questions are displayed on the screen to help review strategies and lessons they have learned. Keiki worked independently and as a team to solve problems. Players used their 1:1 devices to choose from a series of multiple choice answers.
Students used pictures, concrete objects or models to find sums. They were engaged in putting together numbers within 10 and practiced building fluency. The game is a fun way to assess the childrenʻs progress and review the essential questions for the chapter. Itʻs a win win game for everyone!
Papa `Ekahi learns about nā koholā
Papa ʻEkahi learned about the different characteristics of species in the animal kingdom at the Pacific Whale Foundation. Keiki gained knowledge about the Humpback Whale and then participated in a whale watch. Students learned observational skills by exploring surroundings in the kai region using binoculars and digital cameras. As a demonstration of Malama Honua and doing our part to protect the ocean environment, keiki participated in a beach clean-up.
