Now that Fall Break is just a memory, it’s time to refocus and get back to business. Students have been asked to concentrate on and practice these 3 habits of mind in class. They also work for improving personal relationships as well. 1) Ask questions/pose problems, 2) Respond with wonderment and awe, 3) Remain open to continual learning.
As far as content goes, we just finished learning about Kauikeaouli, Alexander Liholiho, Lot Kapuāiwa and Lunalilo. We also picked up Helena Allen’s, The Betrayal of Liliʻuokalani and have selected readings from it.
Next up is the Kalākaua Dynasty. We’ll start up with some basic research by the students. They will share their findings with each other. There will be a culminating assignment based on everyone’s favorite, meaʻai/food! Stay tuned.
