Last week we attended a wonderful play performed by the fifth grade classes. The different performances described the events leading to Hawai’i’s statehood. What did you learn? What information surprised you?

I wonder how hard it was making the whole backgroud on the stage. It must of been really hard work. I didn’t think there were pens back then. And even that long ago!

My FAVORITE part of the play was when they did the money dance because it was really,really EXTERMELY funny and one of my cousin’s friend was in it. I learned that Hawaii had a law saying that no one could speak hawaiian not even at scool. I think that is why the hawaiian language got lost.

Naiya, I thought the same thing.
I leaned a lot of things at the play. How did they make the needles back then?
Oh yeah, Stacy, I like the last part of your comment.

I never new that in Kamehameha you were not allowed to speak hawaiian.I THINK THAT WAS A weird law cause you could not speak hawaiian in a hawaiian school.

I was very suprised that the law back then was that you could not speak hawaiian. I wonder if people got caught when they did speak hawaiian.

I was SHOCKED when I heard no one could speak hawaiian!

I think that it was a weird law too! I mean like, it does not feel like Hawai’i any more I guess, when there would be no more Hawai’ian in Hawai’i at school!

My favorite part of the play was the MONEY DANCE.Nadia I WAS shocked to when I heard that no one could spaek hawaiian.Esspecialy bcause they were hawaiian.I think that because they made a law to not speak hawaiian thats how the hawaiian language got lost.Im glad that the person that changed the law changed the law so that we could speak HAWAIIAN.
