Kite Day!

Please check out our pictures from Kite Day! Kite Day is an old Mid-Pacific tradition that we brought back to celebrate our 100 years in Manoa. To prepare for Kite Day, each student made his own kite with a Manoa or Mid-Pacific theme. We also helped the preschoolers make their kites. Your children were patient and helpful with their preschool friends. I think you would have been very proud of them!

On Kite Day we first had an assembly to learn about the history of Kite Day. Then we joined the middle school and high school on the football field to fly kites. Before our class flew their own kites, they helped their new preschool friends fly theirs. It was an amazing sight to see all those kites in the air at one time!

Opera News:
***After the performances, you may pick up your child in Scudder dining hall. Please make sure you check out with me.
***Your child should wear board shorts and slippers to the performance.

Homework News:
Some of your children may be working on typing at home. I will check off their homework checklist if they need to finish typing at home. They should be using their keyboarding skills and do this on their own! We will be doing editing and revisions in class.

I have found that copying and pasting their writing into an email is the easiest way to get their writing to and from school because we don't have to worry about different programs. Your child will probably need help with that step. Thank you!
