Ohana Means Family

Today is the last day of our Hawaii week. We have learned a lot about Hawaii and had so much fun! On Wednesday, we made Hawaiian people and wrote about what we would do if we lived there.  Today, we tried Hawaiian bread and fresh pineapple.  This is the first time I have had a majority of the kids like the foods I bring in to try.  We also watched Lilo and Stitch.  The kids were very excited when they saw something in the movie that we had learned about this week.  Finally, we will attempt the hula before we leave.  Below are some pictures from the week.

Also this week, Mrs. Brockway gave our classroom a fun gift.  We received a Smart Board game that is similar to Jeopardy.  It is all about science.  We played a couple games and the kids were so excited! Below if a picture of one of the teams "strategizing."

Finally, next week is MAP testing week.  It should go smoothly.  Just make sure your kiddo gets a lot of rest and a good breakfast.  Have a great 3 day weekend!

Looking ahead...
