Reflections of Social Studies...

Aloha Boys and Girls,

I had a wonderful year with you as my Social Studies and Art students.  Please spend some time to reflect on your year.  What did you enjoy about social studies and art?  What did you learn?
How could you apply it in 5th grade? How could you use what you learned to apply it in your life?

Mahalo Nui Loa....... A Hui Hou!

Much Aloha,
Mrs. Wong

PS:  I won't be in room 28 next year.....I'll be a 2nd grade teacher in Room 8.....so please come and visit me sometimes  :)

    1. Aloha Kyle,
      Sorry to hear that you didn't get good grades in SS. Why do you think that is so? How can you improve on your SS grades next year? Reflect on that...
      Good luck in 5th grade!

  3. My favorite part about social studies was learning about Pele. I think she is very creative. I love social studies. I will use this if I become a teacher when I grow up. Thank you so much!

    1. Hi Madi,
      Yes, I agree, Pele is my favorite Hawaiian Goddess to read and learn about. She is very powerful and very interesting! I enjoy dancing hula about her and chanting about her too! Mahalo for being an attentive student! Aloha.

  12. Mrs.Wong-Thank you for teaching me about social studies. Here are some of my favorite parts. One was when we went to Bishop museum. The last was when we learned about tear art and made a masterpiece. Thank you Mrs.Wong I really appreciate it.

  13. My favorite thing about S.S.A was that I learned new things that I didn't learn in my old school.I learned how to properly use instruments and how to express my feelings through my art.If I'm doing art again in 5th Gr. I will use the skills I learned that I did in 4th Gr.I will use what I learned with my S.S.A that if I have trouble with anything that includes history I can always count on what I learned in 4th Gr.

  20. My favorite thing on social studies/art is saying the chant because all of my classmates said it an it was like we were all united and nothing can break us apart.I learned about Pele she was a lava goddess and Mrs.Wong read us stories that me and my classmates loved (only some loved it) but i will always rember the stories second i learned about hawaiin weapons it kinda was fun to learn about it but i'm happy i did because i might need to talk about that someday in my life.

  25. My favorite thing in art is the tear art. I like the tear art because you can mix and match colors. We made it by thinking of something to make and find diffrent colors and try to make it without glue and then when you make the desighn you want and it looks nice glue it all and your done. That can cause you to be as creative as you want. My favorite thing in s.s was the kapa because you could make it your own patterns. what we did was we cut a paper bag in way that would make it look like it's paper and then keep crumbling it until its sofe then cut out shapes on the foam that can stick and stick it to a pop cicle sticks and paint on the shapes and then stamp it on you bag and that's all. That could also make you come up with a lot of creative desighns. But over all I loved spending time with mrs.Wong <3
