Please drop all k/1 students off at 9:00 on Tuesday. I apologize for the confusion!!!

Aloha Families.  Next week there is a slight schedule change for our first graders.  We will participating in the 5th an 6th grade math and science fair so students need to be dropped off at 9:30 and picked up at 11:15.  Thank you so much!

I cannot believe that we are almost at the end of the school year!  Over the next few weeks there are some important dates to keep in mind.

5/24: Student exhibition.  Please drop your student off at 9 am (kindergarten and first).  We will begin exhibition at 10 at conclude around 11:15.  There will be pizza provided so please feel free to bring something to drink and a treat if you like.

5/29 and 5/31: Conferences.  I will be putting a sign-up sheet on the door.  Please feel free to sign up for a day and time. 

6/6: End of the year potluck and get together at Giggle Hill from 11-1.

Please continue to enter completed k12 work each day.  I will be contacting you regarding work you are planning on working on over the summer break.  Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the expectations for summer work.  For the most part, if you have reached 80% or higher completion in all subjects you are free o take the summer off.  New material will be available on line to our returning families on August 1st.

See you tomorrow!

Happy Monday!

This Tuesday we will be meeting at NOAA’ s education center on South Kihei Road from 10-12 for a lesson on marine plant classification.  Please plan on dropping your child off with me at the NOAA location at 10 am and picking them up promptly at noon.

There are a lot of upcoming events that you are going to want to make a note of.  On May 24th we will be having the end of the year student exhibition from 10-11:30.  All K/1 students should be dropped off at 9:00 for an hour of rehearsal before we begin the exhibition.  There will be a pizza lunch provided after the exhibition, but we are asking parents to bring something to drink, no sodas please.

An end of the year potluck picnic will be held at Giggle Hill in Haiku from 11 am to 1 on Wednesday, June 6th.  This is a chance to celebrate a successful year with our entire K-8 Ohana and I hope to see you all there.  

On Thursday I will be posting an end of the year conference sheet for those parents interested in meeting with me. The conferences will take place on the 29th and 31st of May.

Please continue to log your daily K12 work and contact me with any questions or concerns.  I look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow at NOAA at 10 am.

Aloha Families!

This week we will be using the weather information that you have been gathering for a graphing and geography lesson.  Please send the weather chart to school with your child if you haven’t’ done so already! 

Last week first graders took a K12 phonics assessment, please look at how they did and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. 

We have begun rehearsing our Aesop’s Fables paly and man oh man is it going to be cute!  The students have already begun learning two songs and a third song will be introduced this week. 

Next Tuesday we will not have regular class because we will be going on a field trip to NOAA.  Students will work to classify plants based on certain physical characteristic and examine water quality samples.  Parents should drop their student off at the NOAA Ocean Center on South Kihei Road at 10:00 and pick them up at noon.  Due to the limited space, parents are not invited to stay for this trip.

Please make sure that you continue to log your K12 progress each and every day.  Students should be approaching the 70% completion mark in all subject areas.  Based on what I see in the classroom, I can tell that you are all working hard so make sure to log that hard earned progress!

As always, thank you so much for sharing your children with me and I look forward to another fun week with the K/1 kiddos.
