Connecting with our Community

  With all the wet weather, Friday ended up perfectly sunny and off we went on our Community walk.  Parents were patient and worked with their groups on recognizing buyers/sellers, needs/wants and services.  It was a HUGE surprise as we walked by and were invited by the Kalaheo Fire Station Unit for an impromptu demonstration.  The workers in some of the businesses were waving and watching as the students walked by.  Thank you everyone for supporting our students once again for a most enjoyable week. 

Community Centers

We have had such a fun week playing in our Community Helper Centers. The students had an opportunity to be doctors/patients, police officers/criminals, postal workers, grocery store employees/buyers, and play in the beauty salon. Tomorrow we will cap off our week with a walking field trip of Kalaheo Town. Here are some pictures from our week.

"Egg-cellent" Ending

     This was one of the most "egg-citing" week for our children.  Traci Sullivan came in twice this week to do some experiments.  They learned that AIR IS HEAVY and that COLD AIR beats WARM AIR.  They practiced making scientific observations, predictions and recording results.  We also reviewed math (addition, number recognition/writing), writing skills (beginning, middle, end) and making Dental Health goals to have better teeth.
     The students loved watching our Principal drop their homemade contraptions and having Mrs. Herbig open them to see if it was SAFE or not.  They cheered loudly as each egg was safe!  Thank you for helping your child.
      The entire Kindergarten ended their busy week with an afternoon Egg Hunt.  We appreciate all the donations of plastic eggs and treats to stuff them.  There were about 1,500 eggs and each child was able to hunt for 14 eggs.  Rain almost put a damper on our plans, but luckily the sun peeked through just in time and the parents covered the Kindergarten playground with a rainbow of eggs. 

More Egg Fun!

We had so much fun today making an egg in a nest and dying Easter egg.

Students got to crack their own raw egg and pour it into a bread nest.  They watched it cook and of course enjoyed eating their  creations.
Students also spent the morning dying eggs and learning how to mix colors.
Thank you parents for sending in the boiled eggs!

A special thanks to Aunty LeeAnne, Alicia Sams, Tammy & Mel Tapucol, Adrianne Blackstad and Traci Sullivan for helping us.
