Hi All,
Decided to change this weekly post up a bit to not duplicate information that you get about our class! I know that our PTO reps are “on it” and share the calendared info with you through email so, wanted to share the exciting things that the students are doing in class with you instead! Iʻm sure that youʻll appreciate knowing all about the innovative, creative, & exciting learning that your child does in class. See the priceless moments in class below!
Keahiʻs newsroom!
Full view of the newsroom!
The students have been hard at work on their Genius Hour ➗ 2 presentations #3 (approx. 5 hours in class given, countless hours at home, and the last 45 mins. of class time on Mon., Dec. 8) to bank their presentation on their “Pops of Genius!” It is due tomorrow! Keahi was very innovative in using the rolling bookshelf to help him “rig” a mini recording studio! Go Keahi! Stay tuned for all the Genius in 5B in a future post!
Kamron volunteers for sharing on Mouse & Cheese!
Cade & Makana share ipad tip on stop motion/elapse time video making
The students also take turns during our Morning Meetings to share their interests! Sometimes its funny, sometimes it a new trick on an app, sometimes its information, but everytime it builds class pilina. Students volunteer to share and then entertain questions from the audience. During this time, weʻve learned that mice really donʻt like cheese, how to make a stop motion, where we can get free ebooks, how to play Crossy Road, and much, much more!
Kaulana sharing where to find ebooks!
They also have collaborated in teams to answer the essential question of “How is the current lava flow impacting the Big Island” (see previous post on their final work…click on the “hotspots” to see the learning!) Students also continue to work on completing 7 IXL skills for this month. It is due on the 18th. IXL time is incorporated into homework.
Collaboration!
Teaming to Accomplish!
Go Team!
So much great moments in class…all the while students are focued on the Hawaiian value Aʻo (to teach, to learn, to instruct) for this trimester! We celebrate our newest Hāweo members at our monthly celebration which will be on Wed., Dec. 10. Congrats to Dakota & Kaʻimi for being great leaders in class.
Lastly, students will be meeting our new CEO Mr. Wong tomorrow! How exciting as he will be at our Keaʻau campus along with Trustee Wilhelm joining us for the day beginning with convocation. As a reminder, dress whites are mandatory.
Thank you for your continued support! Hope you enjoyed the change in this post as it is now more student focused! Have a great Sunday and the rest of the week! Click on the photos to enlarge!
