Homework:

1) Presentation Reflection: Refer to the attached green sheet for pertinent information that needs to be included in your reflection. See below for copy of info on the green direction sheet.

Perpetuating the Legacy

Write a reflective response about Kumu Kamuela’s presentation of Bernice Pauahi Bishop’s legacy. Include:
• Who Pauahi is.
• Why Pauahi is important.
• What her vision for her people was.
• How her vision is being lived out today.
• How you, as an heir to this legacy, will live to honor and perpetuate Pauahi’s vision.

Before you start writing, quietly think about all that you know, learned, and live as a Hawaiian student of Kamehameha Schools. What responsibility comes with perpetuating this legacy? What a privilege and honor it is to be a part of Bernice Pauahi’s heart for her people.

Email or Blog me if you have any questions about reflections assignment. I know the time was rushed and I didn’t have time to explain it in detail. You may use the internet to review or validate information too.

2) Reading Plus: 4 sessions 70% or better by 12/4. After discussion with teachers, ALL levels may record scores of 70% or better.

Have a fabulous safe weekend!!! See you Monday!

Aloha ‘ohana!!
We are starting a unit called Perpetuating the Legacy. Kumu Kamuela, the MS vice principal, came in today and will come in tomorrow, to share his mana’o about Bernice Pauahi Bishop. (Sorry Block 2…Kumu Kamuela had a mtg and couldn’t meet with your class. We are trying to find another time.) After sharing Pauahi’s history, vision, why we should honor her, and our responsibility to perpetuate her legacy, Kumu Kamuela took us to one of the highest point on the campus to continue his sharing about the names of the roads around our school, named after Pauahi’s three hanai children.

This unit will continue after the break so the students have enough time to research and create digital story to showcase their learning.

The process and learning are exciting to watch!!
