High Five!

Aloha All!

     We have been up to some exciting and new things this week in P2. For starters we began something called "High-Five Words". Each day two of the sight words for the week are posted on or by our doors. When the students enter or exit the classroom they say the word and give it a high-five. The kids have had a blast with it!

       This week we learned about how animals use the different parts of their bodies. To recap what we learned the kids each made a flip book that tells about the body parts of an animal of their choosing. And it also allowed up to practice using commons when listing more than two things!

"A tiger has tail, ears, nose."

"A bat has a straight ear, and big wings, and little feet."

    For writing this week we practice writing folktales. The kids were encouraged to use sound words in their folktales. After they made their rough draft, we learned how to use different editing marks. The kids edited their papers before writing their final drafts. Below you can see the editing marks that kids made followed by their final drafts!

    We would like to give a big MAHALO to everyone who has already donated plastic bottles and cans to our class so that we can raise money for our Dolphin Quest field trip! We REALLY appreciate it. We will continue to collect recyclables from now until April.

Hope you all had as great of a week as we had!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kawai
