Connecting with Uncle Wally in Samoa
We got to participate in a Google Hangout with Uncle Wally!
Fall Break
I want to wish my keiki and their ‘Ohana a very safe, restful and fun fall break. Please find the time to enjoy each other. Whether you are staying home or traveling afar I encourage you to take the time and reflect about the learning that is going on within and around you. We are so blessed to be a part of a great Kamehameha ‘ohana.
We return to kula on Tuesday October 14.
Mālama pono,

Learning with Mr. Floro
This afternoon we had an opportunity to take a walking huaka’i to our kula waena. Here, middle school science Kumu, Mr. Floro met us. He shared his mana’o on growing and caring for plants. We even got to taste and eat different forms of banana ( natural banana candy) and sweet fresh coconut. We will be using his teachings to prepare our ‘uala garden when we return from fall break.
Mahalo nui e Mr. Floro!!!
`Anakala Wally Visits
This morning, we were very fortunate to make pilina and welcome `Anakala Wally Wong, Watch Captain for the Hokulea voyage from Samoa to Aotearoa. `Anakala Wally did an oli kahea and our keiki replied with our kula’s oli komo and a mele.
`Anakala Wally shared information about his life and his role on the Hokulea, what it takes to get ready for the voyage (lots of exercise and healthy eating, observing stars, taking care of kuleana at home), how long he will be away from his ‘ohana, and the different stops he will make on his way.
We look forward to making connections through uncle as he travels to Tonga, Kermadec and Aotearoa. He is also taking with him a picture or our two papa `ekahi class and will “take us” with him everywhere he goes. We are so excited to journey with him.
Mahalo nui to Polynesian Voyaging Spciety and ‘Anakala Wally for sharing with our haumana before your voyage! The keiki are looking forward to connecting with you and the rest of the crew on your voyage and upon your return. We wish you a safe journey and Godspeed. Ke Akua pu a hui hou kakou.

We are so fortunate to have Mrs. Isabel come to our papa every other day to assist us in our writing workshop and social studies. She is a great resource for our keiki. One of the privileges that we have with her is that she loves to read stories to our keiki. Today she shared a story entitled, “Auntie”, about how a favorite mu’umu’u turns into other items of memorabilia ( shirt, scarf, earrings). After the story Mrs. Isabel shared with us a quilt she made for her father from her mama’s old mu’umu’u. Mrs. Isabel provided a great strategy of connections for our keiki. Mahalo nui for the story e Mrs. Isabel.
