Sharing Aloha to our Island Kupuna!

Aloha Room 28!
Mahalo for sharing your ALOHA spirit with our kupuna on `Oahu.  As I delivered the hot meal, dessert, juice and goodie-bag to the kupuna (elderly), they were all looking forward to receiving their annual place-mats and card!  I told them many cards and place-mats were created with love by the fourth graders at Alvah Scott Elementary.  Each year, they enjoy receiving these gifts from you....the "KEIKI" of our island!  The looks on the faces and sincere appreciations were PRICELESS!
Much Aloha,
Mrs. Wong

First Grade Reading Buddies! With Mrs. Dugay's class...

Aloha Room 28 Bloggers!
I love it when you get excited to work with your "Reading Buddies!"  You are learning so much from this experience!  You are helping them in so many ways--applying good-reader strategies, decoding unfamiliar words, articulating, expressing themselves, writing, cutting, coloring, and so much more!  You, as a reading buddy, are being excellent role models to them.  They appreciate your friendship and your patience while helping them with their many projects.  Keep up the great work, Room 28!  I'm very proud of each and every one of you!
Mahalo,

Mrs. Wong

Reading about Dexter...

10-18-11
Aloha Room 28 Bloggers! 
It sure has been a while!  We took a short break to concentrate on our first quarter assessments and had to leave "Dexter" aside.  Now that we're back on track and reading more about Dexter, we sure are learning a LOT more!  We even met a new character...Robin!  Hmmmm...I wonder how Robin will influence Dexter?  I wonder if Robin and Dexter will begin a new friendship?  Your next assignment is to read chapters 9, 10 and 11 by Friday, Oct. 21.  But before you read, make a prediction.  If you've already read up to chapter 11, do a BLOG-response to the text.  You can do one of the following, or choose to respond in your own way! 
Response Ideas:
-Make a connection to Dexter or Robin
-What new information did you learn
-I wonder....
-This reminds me of...
-In these chapters, my favorite part was...

I'll be waiting for your response to Dexter, the Tough!  (or is he?)...
Aloha,
Mrs. Wong =)
