N\u00e5n\u00e5 i ke Kumu…The haum\u00e5na of Papa ‘Elima had a wonderful day of learning doing just that…looking to the source! \u00a0We were extremely blessed today to get a visit from the 3 Anakala from Project Kuleana (Anakala Sean, Anakala K\u00eehei and Anakala Kamakoa) to help us in our inquiry-based project quest to seek answers to our essential question: \u00a0What is Our Kuleana as KS haum\u00e5na, as Hawaiians, as Global-Citizens?<\/p>\n

So many times, we as a class, seek answers in our research in books, text, articles, & videos, etc. and often ask the question-What is the mana’o nui? \u00a0What is the author trying to teach us? \u00a0What is the author’s message? \u00a0We use our best reading strategies…we reread, review, articulate with each other, we track our thinking, and make inferences & search for information that would support it.<\/p>\n

Today, we took a different approach to our learning, we went straight to the source! \u00a0We did our usual work prior to our meeting- we read articles, we researched, we watched videos, we documented our questions and wonders and we made inferences and found proof\/evidence to support our thinking…BUT, the HUGE difference, we got to ask the creative minds who created Project Kuleana questions! \u00a0We got to hear the reasons why they all had a strong need to share their Hawaiian music, why music helps the Hawaiian culture to thrive, \u00a0why they felt it was their kuleana to make this video, the ‘ike behind it, their thought process, the business end of it, heard all about the pilina they built with each other, other Hawaiian musicians, and our ‘\u00c5ina and much, much more!<\/p>\n

The haum\u00e5na got some of their inferences validated, their questions answered, and now have more questions & wonders to “dive deeper” into What is Our Kuleana? \u00a0The inquiry process continues….<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a>We’d like to send out a mahalo nui to Anakala Sean, Anakala K\u00eehei, & Anakala Kamakoa for their generous gifts of time, sharing an immense amount of mana’o and ‘ike, and for strengthening our Hawaiian culture, one musical note at a time! He Hawai’i au, Mau a mau!<\/p>\n

Click on the video to see the Kani ka pila session we had! \u00a0So blessed! AND \u00a0of course, FUN! Learning ALWAYS has to be FUN! \u00a0Whoo hoo! \u00a0Yippee! \u00a0Inside joke…You had to be in the moment with us to know and feel the excitement! \u00a0Right? Just ask Anakala Sean!<\/p>\n
