Aloha e na `ohana,

Welcome to Papa 1!!  I hope this year takes us on a voyage to new learnings and growing.    I invite you to visit our blog page and respond by leaving comments.  Our first day of school came and went.  We got off to a great start!  Here are a few photos of our day.

Aloha,

Kumu Kaleo

We went on a huaka’i to Hāmākua. Me and my class learned about Laupāhoehoe point and Akaka falls. At Akaka falls we went hiking and took pictures of grass lands which is called greenery. Greenery means when there’s lots of grass.In Laupāhoehoe we took pictures of lots of really nice things. On our huaka’i wē meet a lady called aunty Lucile. Aunty Lucile told us how she survived the tsunami. She said to survive a tsunami is to go to higher ground. And aunty Lucile told us 24 people died from the tsunami.

This is a short story of jump rope for heart. Miss Lee let us get prizes if we won the competitions for the last ones standing. There is lots of ways to do jump roping there is something called forward jumping, backward jump roping, one foot jump roping and much more. There is two kinds of jump ropes one is the little ones the other one is called a long rope jump. On jump for heart was also aloha wear day but Miss Lee didn’t want the girls to trip over there dresses so they could wear short dresses or wear there uniform. It was really fun. We jumped rope for all our families and people who have heart conditions.

For my ‘Ohana Christmas tradition we go to my grandparents house for Christmas dinner. We bring presents for eachother and sing Christmas songs. My favorite part is when we decorate a gingerbread house and spend time with my family.

We open some presents.  Then we  go to my papas house.  At papas hOuse I open presents too!  Then we wacht football!  After we play with my toys.

On Christmas eve we go to sleep early so Santa can drop off presents.

On Christmas Day we can look what is in our stoking.
We can also open our presents.
We give thanks to god and those who gave us our presents.
