Aloha kakahiaka e nā keiki,

As you are aware this is a short week of school with Thanksgiving on Thursday. Our convocation went well yesterday as we blessed all the Operation Christmas Child presents. Yesterday, we started our spelling words in a new fashion. You were given the task and responsibility to choose your own words. How did you like or not like that? In writing we also continued our How-to pieces. In one sentence please reply and let the class know what your story is about. In another sentence write your thoughts on choosing your own spelling words. There should be TOTAL OF at least two sentences in your reply. Mai poina (Donʻt forget) sentences start with a capital and end with a period.

I lā maika`i,

Kumu Kaleo

Good morning Warriors,

We have a busy day ahead of us. We need to finish up our e-portfolios, Skype our last four friends with Tahiti and ho`omākaukau for our conferences. To begin thinking about what we will share at our conferences, I want you to post one thing you will share with your `ohana at your conference time. For example: I will share about my reading progress. I will explain how we are using iPads in school.

Letʻs have a great day.

Aloha,

Kumu Kaleo
