In case your child hasn’t told you…we have flown to Hawaii in class!! We have been learning about all things Hawaiian!
- We’ve learned some Hawaiian words for different body parts:
mouth: waha eye: maka
teeth: niho nose: ihu
As well as learning that their alphabet has only 17 letters instead of 26 like ours does. (A, B, D, E, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, R, T, U, V, W)
- We’ve read some books about volcanoes and made a web full of facts about volcanoes including some new vocabulary we have learned…
lava, crater, eruption, & dormant to name a few…
- Today we started learning a little bit (emphasis on little bit) of Hula dancing during our gym time…We’re using the songs Tiny Bubbles and Pearly Shells and it’s lots of fun!
- We have also started an ocean animal research project. So far, we have ‘webbed’ (graphic organizer) all the information we already knew and could find in the books from the library about our five animals…Thanks to Mrs. Safarik’s class for helping us with the writing!
- Sea Turtle
- Octopus
- Dolphin
- Shark
- Sea Star

Tomorrow we will choose which animal we want to report on. We look forward to recording the information we have learned into an animal report…watch for it…coming home before the break!
We love science!!!
