Welcome Room 28 (S.Y. 2012--2013) Bloggers!

Aloha Students and Parents of Rm. 28,

     Welcome to our Classroom Blog!  I hope you will visit this blog from time to time and comment on the questions I post or even reflect on the many things we will be doing in school and class.  Thanks again for participating and for turning in your permission slip on time.  I'm still waiting on a few more students, but we can get started while we wait.  =)
      I can't believe we are 3 weeks into the new school year.  Can you?  In such a short time, we have been learning so much! We've had an assembly, a library visit and we're learning a lot in our core subjects such as Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies and Health.  We are also integrating our learning with Music, Art and P.E.  We are expecting a fire drill soon and we have our school's annual Welcome Assembly this Wednesday, August 22.  
     This year, our class size decreased from 28 students in each fourth grade class, to about 21 students.  This makes a HUGE difference!  I'm learning more and more about each and every one of my students and look forward to more as the year goes on.  I hope you're learning more about me as well.  
     Did you enjoy your 3-day weekend?  What did you do?  As for me, it was a/an productive, frustrating and yet exciting weekend.  First,  I got to attend my son's "open house" at Pearl City High School.  I met some of his teachers and learned about what he will be doing this semester.  Next, I got a night off from cooking dinner, so I got to eat out with my family =).  On Friday, I caught up with my housework, corrected some papers and spent time with my children at the park near our home.  Saturday was frustrating because I suffered a migraine headache (OUCH!).  I did not enjoy my Saturday.  I had so many things planned and I had to cancel them all.  I spent most of the day in bed, experiencing some body chills and didn't have any appetite to eat.  I canceled an outing to check out the "Made in Hawaii" expo at the Blaisdell Center and even had to cancel going to see my nephew play football!  That was a real bummer.  I was lucky to have my daughter cook a spaghetti dinner for the family that night because I couldn't even see clearly.  After a LONG night's rest, some medicine and some TLC from my family, I woke up Sunday morning with a big SMILE!  No more migraine headache!  I enjoyed breakfast with my family, and even went hiking up Koko Head Crater!  It was an exciting Sunday because it was our first time hiking up there.  It sure was steep at some parts, but the view was just spectacular!  If you didn't go, I hope you get to go up there one day and experience what I saw for yourself!  If you already went there, that's wonderful!  =)  I guess you know what I'm talking about.  So now it's your turn.  Please tell me what you did this weekend.  I look forward to your comments.  
     Have a wonderful day and I will see you in school!  Thanks for reading on.  Aloha....A hui hou!
