On September 22, 2010, the Lama team visited the Bishop Museum.  The primary focus of this field trip was to witness the Kü exhibit.  We watched a dramatic storytelling called, Mai Poina and visited the Picture Gallery, Native Garden and toured Hawaiian Hall.  Mahalo nui loa to all those who helped to make this field trip occur.  Mahalo to the staff and docents at Bishop Museum for helping us to connect with our Hawaiian Culture.

Students, please add a reflection that is a well written paragraph that shares what you learned, felt and witnessed on this field trip.

September 7, 2010.  What a beautiful day it was today.  The Lama Team went on a field trip to the Arizona Memorial.  We honored those soldiers who died on that fateful day in history.  After that we headed to the upper campus to visit the plaque that was dedicated to the KS students who served to protect the water tanks from Japanese paratroopers.  It was an honor to meet and learn from Senator Daniel Akaka.
