Have a Sun-Shining Summer!

Dear Students,

Mahalo for a wonderful year of fourth grade! Thank you to everyone who came to the Beach Party Potluck on Saturday! I attached a photo from one of our many swims in the ocean!

I hope you all have a magical summer break filled with sunshine, smiles, science experiments, and sensational books. Don't forget to email me!

Aloha,

Miss Lilli

Our Video Won!

Congratulations to the video group (Izumi, Zaysha-Lei, Cody, Michael, Faith, and Lily) who made the "I Can, You Can, We All Can," video for Olelo's Youth Xchange competition. This video won FIRST PLACE in the elementary school recycling category! Additionally, thank you to all of the students in our class for helping with the recycling project during our graphing unit. Every student's hard work helped our class be successful. Congratulations to the other two video groups from our class who also made it to the finalist banquet. Here are some photos from the finalist banquet!

Polynesian Cultural Center Photos!

Hi Class!

Here are a couple photographs I snapped during our trip to the Polynesian Cultural Center.

Martin Luther King Jr. Poetry Prize Awards!

I met Kylee, Faith, and their families at the beach park a few weeks ago for the 12th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Poetry Prize Award Ceremony. Kylee and Faith were being recognized for their first and second place poems about peace! They had the opportunity to read their poems aloud to the audience, and meet the contest staff on stage! Awesome job girls : ) I am so proud of you for your excellent writing!

Mega Trends Showcase!

Hi Everyone!

Two weeks ago our class was represented at the Mega Trend Showcase in Waipahu. Our recycling project was on display for other schools to view. Additionally, Lily and Faith were at the robotics station presenting their research! Here are some photos from the event. Thanks to all of our students who visited the showcase after school, and helped explain to members of the community what our project was about! Some of our students were even interviewed by the student reporters!

Hi Class,

Here are the photos from our endangered species lesson a while back. I forgot these were saved in my camera!
