April 11, 2014


Aloha parents and families!
This week Ms. Ku'ulei did her third and final week of her student teacher takeover. (Don't worry! She isn't leaving us yet!) The kids learned a lot from her this week! 


This week Ms. Ku'ulei read the kids a book that is all about bats, who are pretty interesting animals. They are the only mammals that can fly! On Monday when she read the book the kids learned about some brand new words like echolocation, colonies, and pup. Ask your keiki if they can tell you what these words mean! 
On Tuesday Ms. Ku'ulei taught the kids about cause and effect using the bat book. For example, when the weather turns cold in the winter that creates two different effects for bats. One is that some bats migrate to a warmer location. The other is that some bats hibernate in caves.


This week the kids got to try out something new and exciting for reading. Ms. Ku'ulei gave them each an illustration and she told them that the author forgot to write the words to match! So the kids needed to help. 

Once upon a time I saw three ants going into the basket and I named them Tippy, Wennady, and Cose Cose and they stole my sandwich!

I see 3 ants climbing my basket I don't like it.



The kids got really creative and they did so well that Ms. Ku'ulei had them do the same activity again on Thursday, this time telling them their story needed to include a beginning, middle, and end. The class got really into and developed some excellent stories. What a great group of authors we have in P2!

One day Puppie got dirt all over his feet because he rode over the dirt. I put him in the tub. He come to me.



Once upon a time there was a dog in the bath. The dog was bathing. The dog was stuck in the bath.

Our class also won best attendance for Kindergarten last week! That means our class had the highest percentage of kids in kindergarten come to school every day and on time last week. Greats job parents getting your kids to school!

Hope you all have a fun and safe weekend! See you on Monday!
