Morning Meeting W/KB – Living Active & Healthy Lives!
Our Papa Mala’o (Kindergarten Class) in Mrs. Nihipali’s class is learning about living active and staying healthy through exercise and the food that we eat. This morning we talked about the many ways we can live active and be healthy. Our students agreed that eating fruits, veggies and drinking plenty of water will keep you healthy. Others shared playing sports like baseball, soccer, and even karate will keep you active. Today, we participated in a Zumba Fitness Workout! We took our fitness a bit further and did Zumba Toning! The students recycled their juice bottles, filled them with sand to create their own toning sticks. Yes, we worked our muscles and had a fun cardio workout! Mahalo Ms. Lee for joining us!

Sharing Resources with our KS Preschoolers
Mahalo Nui to our KS Preschool (Keaukaha Site) for visiting us in the Learning Center. As part of their community helper’s unit, they visited our campus and learned about the different kuleana (responsibilities) of each division at our Kula (school). We had a wonderful time in the Library. A time of fellowship, learning about the library, and watching some story videos from our online eBooks collection.

Our Papa ‘Ekolu is busy using their note-taking skills and gathering information. Using the “Welcome To My Country” series, they are learning some facts about the various countries in our world; Isreal, Sri Lanka, Turkey, and Singapore to name a few. In their own words, these third graders are sharing things they have learned about their country, and gathering the appropriate elements for their bibliography. Way to go Papa ‘Ekolu!
