Monday- Our Smart Board had a tropical background with real moving waves accompanied by classic Hawaiian music. Our morning work this week was about a Hawaiian map and a tourist map. We learned about leis and their place in Hawaiian culture and then made our own! We all got Hawaiian name tags that had our actual name and the Hawaiian translation. In the afternoon, we got books about how to speak Hawaiian, had a limbo contest, beach ball speed ball and beach ball hot potato.
Tuesday- We went over some slides about Hawaiian culture. They included, pig roasts, surfing, boating, underwater sports and more. We also learned to Hula.
Wednesday- We learned about jellyfish and answered some questions about them. We also spent some time doing ABC order with Hawaiian words, learned about Pele- the fire goddess and volcanoes.
Thursday- We made our own jellyfish and added some facts we learned about them. In the morning we wrote about our favorite parts of Hawaii. In the afternoon, my sister came to help us with our Hawaiian people craft. My sister lived in Hawaii for three years and this unit is inspired by her. At the end of the day we had a hula hooping contest.
Friday- We just tried some pineapple, mango and Hawaiian bread. DELICIOUS! Now, we are watching Lilo and Stitch and pointing out things we learned about this week that are in the movie.
