Space Success!
Thank you all for coming to our Space Inquiry share on Friday! Weren’t the children wonderful? This week, we will post two videos of our presentation. We will also post the information that each child chose to share. If you have gone to the weblog and signed in to receive email notification, you will be notified when the space inquiry presentation has been posted. In class, we will reflect on all that we learned about space and the inquiry process.This Friday, March 14, is the MPI Ho’olaule’a. A note went home in your child’s folder today. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Our 5th-grade buddies are studying immigration and did a project on their ancestors. Today we went to our buddies’ classroom to listen to a few of their presentations. It was so much fun to see what 5th-grade students do! We had a chance to ask questions and give comments.
On Wednesday, we will get together with our buddies to make Easter cards for our Senior buddies. We will visit Manoa Senior Care on Thursday to deliver our cards. We will be enjoying several Easter activities (painting a wooden egg, making an Easter basket, hunting for eggs) this week, as well as a fun St. Patrick’s Day activity (making a Leprechaun trap) on Friday. We’ve begun reading St. Patrick’s Day books that were brought in by friends. Did you know that Saint Patrick taught people about God? He taught that the three leaves on the clover stand for God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. The story also goes that Saint Patrick told all the snakes in Ireland to leave, and they did!
If you have any recyclable items we can use in our art center, please send them with your child. Items need to be stored on a shelf in our classroom, so please, no bulky items. Suggested items include paper towel/toilet paper rolls, styrofoam pieces, and fabric/wallpaper squares. Thank you!
Everyone looks forward to the Guest Reader on Friday afternoons. If you are interested in coming into the classroom to read to the children, please contact Sabrina Ako.
Parent volunteers are such a help and blessing to us, especially when projects arise. If you are able to volunteer your time (no skill or experience needed; training provided), please contact Sabrina Ako.
The new set of Family Learning Activities has also been posted. Some items have been removed, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go back to them and complete the activity. Remember, these activities are optional; please enjoy them as your family’s schedule and available time will allow.
Our Students-of-the-Week are AG and ZH. Please bring in things you would like to share about yourselves. Everything needs to be able to hang on a bulletin board. Parent volunteers or teachers will assemble the board next Wednesday.
