My Project

We are currently learning about how natural resources were used in Old Hawaii. One of the resources we are learning about about is 'olena (turmeric). I have been growing 'olena in pots at my home and would love to give all of the students in our grade level the opportunity to harvest, process, and replant the 'olena in our brand new school garden! This project is designed to help the students engage with this social studies content and to address learning losses caused by COVID 19. Additionally, we will combine the 'olena we harvest with vinegar and water to tie-dye t-shirts. The students will also collaborate to create a t-shirt design that represents our class and the learning activities they participated in this year. We have the 'olena, but need the t-shirts for the students to dye!

New PE equipment will help expand our repertoire of activities to get our bodies moving and active!

We currently have a set of agility rings, but with additional sets, more students will be able to participate at one time with less time waiting around! These collaborative activities will also provide opportunities for ongoing social-emotional learning and community building in the wake of COVID-19.

Our project also includes some general school supplies and a bubble machine that will be part of a new tradition at our school. This year we plan to invite graduating high school seniors who attended our school to return to be recognized as part of our 5th grade promotion activities. We want to recognize and celebrate the achievements of our alumni and help our current students to start thinking about WHEN (not IF!) they will graduate from high school.
