Language Arts

We read and write every day! All children in Jump Start Kindergarten are readers and writers, whether they are learning the alphabet or writing sentences, and whether reading their names or reading chapter books.

Some of the daily literacy activities in which the children participate include: learning new songs and poems, reading the daily schedule, shared reading of a big book (phonics lessons are often incorporated into these times), storytelling, working on their Hawaiian colors book and Hawaiian islands fact book.

Manoa Market Place

Last week, Mrs. Ikehara set up a tour of the Farmer's Market at Manoa Marketplace. We looked at different fruits and vegetables that are locally grown. Both classes were also given a special tour of Safeway. Mr. Justin allowed us to taste cheese, water the produce, walk in the freezer, and smell a salmon.
