Global Experience
Special guest visitors from Cambodia came to Mid-Pacific Institute. A young dance group from an orphanage in Cambodia came to our school to perform traditional Cambodian dances for our first whole-school assembly. The Mid-Pacific Hula Halau performed a welcoming dance, then the Cambodian dancers shared part of their culture. It was a great bonding experience, and all the students and participants really enjoyed themselves.
The math has become increasingly challenging. The students are realizing that they arre continuously building on past knowledge. It is important that they continue to work on their speed in multiplication and division. Practicing with flash cards in the car while driving to school would be a great help for all students. We are learning about multiples of a number to prepare ourselves for fractions.
In science the students are waiting for me to give them back their first drafts (with editing marks) to be corrected. In the meantime, they continue to work on their class Energy Saving Project, which involves finding ways to save energy around the elementary school campus.
IT'S A BOY! & A GIRL! & A BOY! & A GIRL!...........The mice had babies, and the students are very excited. It is also Brenton's birthday! And he baked the class a special treat! It's a PARTY!
