Week #8: May 18-22, 2020

It’s the last week of distance learning, gang! Check Epic! for your last reading assignment (note: your Epic! free access ends at the end of June so take advantage while you can) and play this video in the background while you read the book Letter Box by Dr. Jean (trust me!) and then play this one when you read The Alphabet Forwards and Backwards. We can’t wait to see the messages you read or post on the homework Padlet!

Here’s a little song to help keiki learn their address. (You might want want to make up your own, though.) 😅👍🏼
Week #7: May 11-15, 2020

Check Epic! Books for this week’s reading assignments. Don’t forget to upload your short video to the homework Padlet; you can post a photo of the feeling faces you drew in the “Just For Fun” column. 😊😢😠😱😮 **Remember to text Kumu Kimi your keiki’s answer to the question: What does ALOHA mean to you? 😉👍🏼

This is an oldie but goodie from the Papa Honu vault…

Readings for this week include: Old Makana Had a Taro Farm (in this link, the video is cued up to the story; find it on YouTube if you also want to take a walk through Aunty Kaliʻa’s uncle’s farm 🤙🏼) and Old MacDonald had a Farm. Add a pic of your keiki’s home-created farm in the “Just For Fun” column of our homework Padlet; we can’t wait to see the pictures your keiki draw of farm animals! 🐮🐷🐔

Mahalo to all those who participated in Spirit Week last week, that was so fun! If you ever want to send us photos of your keiki at work, please feel free to text them via Remind or post them on our homework Padlet!! We added a column of “Just for Fun” pic posts.

Celebrated on April 22
Kind of thought provoking. Watch this with your keiki and talk about what they think it means.

Week #2: April 6-10, 2020

Read on Epic: Respect and Take Care of Things

(Oops! The Padlet link moved here, Kumu had to reorganize the blog because things were all over the place.)

🙊😅Also, we apologize for the confusion…you did NOT miss Week #1, Kumu Kimi started the activity sheets at #2. (Why? Because she’s a babooze and technically March 30-April 3 was the first week of distance learning but we didn’t send out an activity sheet for that week.) 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Note: We value student engagement and providing opportunities to learn from one another.  However, at this time, we would like to give all families the option to share student work directly to kumu via email/text or by posting online to our Padlet.  Please do not feel obligated to post anything online if you are not comfortable.  Be aware that there is always a risk in posting as we can not guarantee that your post will not be copied or shared without your permission. Mahalo!
