Adventures with Hoku!

This is one of the many adventures Hoku had
during the recent Thanksgiving Holiday.

          As you all know, Hoku has been traveling all around `Oahu!  Hoku got to travel home with almost all the students in room 28.  There are a few more student names left in the jar to pick from.   Don't worry.....everyone will get a chance to take Hoku home before we start a second round of Hoku's Adventures!
          This weekend, Hoku went home with Brooke.  Brooke decided to take Hoku on a Chorus Adventure and she made sure Hoku had a good seat so she could watch Brooke,  Mason, Rian, John, and the rest of the Na Poki`i O Na Ali`i singers!
          Let's continue to make more memories and more ADVENTURES with Hoku!  Mahalo for Participating!

Here's Hoku with Halau O Hanauna Ku`u Aloha.

Our Talented Students!

Alvah Scott has so many talented individuals!  One particular group is the Na Poki`i O Na Ali`i Singers!  Yes, it's Scott School's own chorus group!  Last night, I, along with so many family members, teachers, friends, and community members witnessed a spectacular performance on the Windward side of `Oahu.  We were treated to singing, dancing and laughter too!  What a wonderful end to a busy work week, and a festive beginning to our much needed weekend!  Mahalo, especially to students from our very own Room 28 `Ohana---Rian, Mason, Brooke, and John.  You all did a great job with your speaking part, dancing and of course, singing!
                                                                           Mahalo and Aloha!

We continue to Malama Honua (Take care of the Earth)

Aloha Room 28 `Ohana!
          We planted more trees to help with our Theme: Malama Honua!  This time, we got papaya trees donated to us from Jackie Hayashi (Mrs. Wong's mother-in-law).  We hope these papaya trees will thrive and provide us with nourshing, delicious fruits!  Mahalo Mrs. Hayashi! =)
         Hopefully we will get more plant donations throughout the year so we can add them to our school garden too!  Our next BIG adventure in gardening will take place in the springtime.  We will hopefully have enough plastic 2-liter bottles to do our hydroponics activity.  We need at least 1 bottle per student.  So far we have 4 bottles that were brought in.  Hopefully the email Mrs. Wong sent out to other teachers will help bring in more!
          My challenge to you and your families is to start your own gardens at home.  It doesn't have to be a BIG garden.  It could be a small garden (indoor or outdoor) that you could easily take care of.  Try it!  Take pictures and send it to me so I can post up your garden on our class blog!  Happy planting!
                                                                          Mahalo and Aloha,
                                                                          Mrs. Wong

A time to Give Thanks and Malama Kekahi I Kekahi

Aloha Room 28 `Ohana!

        It sure has been a while since I last posted.  My apologies for the LONG delay.  We have been very busy this school year!  In the month of October and November, we started working with our first grade reading buddies (Mrs. Dugay's students from room 10).
        Focusing on our class' academy theme, Malama Kekahi I Kekahi (Taking care of Each Other), we have been helping our reading buddies with their Halloween treat bags and Thanksgiving turkey activities.  The students work together and read together.

Here's Brooke and Alex...A perfect Turkey!

Tina and Rian help Meghan put the
finishing touches on her turkey!

       

                            

                                          Samantha and Chanell work with Frida and Saniah-Louise.
                                                        They are all so very thankful for being able to work well with others

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, the students shared what they are most thankful for.  

After sharing, they hung their "thoughts" on our Giving Tree!  

It's so nice to read and re-read all that we are so Thankful for!  Mahalo for sharing!

 I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving weekend with their `Ohana and friends!  Please share what you did over the wonderful 4 day special weekend...

                                                                                     Mahalo and Aloha,

                                                                                      Mrs. Wong
