Wow!  They were awesome!

Mahalo to Ms. Richardson for the video!

We had a fun learning day outdoors today, hearing and being active with poi and zoo animals.  Uncle Howard welcomed us to his farm in Panaewa.  He prepared cooked taro for us to taste, huli to plane and harvested taro to clean and pound.  So interesting and interactive!

At the zoo we had many makua there to help guide us around as we took in information on a student selected animal and saw the many other animals there as well.   We made it to lunch time with not too much rain, then returned to school to reflect, unwind and play.  Enjoy the pictures!

Mahalo to the many makua who came to set up and watch our Easter egg hunt today.  The keiki and siblings had loads of fun!

I think I shared that we have a kupuna, Aunty Sally- or “Mother Goose”- as the keiki lovingly call her, who comes to visit once a month to read a story and donate that book to our class library.

We love her visits and she loves coming to see us!

We did not get to see it hatch or emerge, but the keiki were very excited to see its arrival this morning and watch Maci set it free!

Sent this note home today- just incase you missed it in your childʻs folder!

Aloha Papa Mālaa‘o,

As we sit here planning for next week, we see that next Friday is Good Friday! We would like to have an Easter egg hunt for the keiki on Thursday afternoon, at 12:30.

We are asking for donations of a dozen plastic eggs filled with candy or simple toys from each student. We would like these by Wednesday please.

We will need help counting and placing the eggs on our playground Thursday afternoon. We count them so that we can tell the keiki how many they are allowed to find. We would include any younger siblings in this that happen to be here. We need the volunteers here by 12:00 that day.

Have your child bring a reusable bag with their name on it to use as their Easter basket.

If you do not wish your child to participate in this, please let us know so that we can arrange for another activity during this time.

Other news:

• April 10^th is our excursion to a farm and the zoo. We could use four chaperones per class. Let us each know if you can make this.
• The April 13^th Ekalesia has been moved to April 20^th.
• Our swimming for P.E. is coming up the week of April 20^th. We donʻt know the exact date yet, but will need help in the pool.
• Spring Concert is April 17^th.

Okay thatʻs it for now!

A hui hou!

Karen and Hazel
