We are already in our third week of our weekly SEL lessons, and the students have been loving this special time together! Each week, we follow a simple four-step routine: we begin with mindful breathing, read a story together, discuss and practice what we are learning, and end with desk pet time. This routine has been manageable and meaningful for our kindergarteners, giving them a consistent space to slow down, talk about feelings, practice positive choices, and learn how to care for themselves and others.\r\n\r\nThese books will be at the heart of our lessons throughout the year, helping introduce important topics in a way that is engaging and age-appropriate for our youngest learners. We are so excited to continue growing our little library and using these stories each week. Mahalo for investing in our students and helping us create a space where even our littlest learners can explore their biggest feelings.

One of the best parts was seeing the look of accomplishment on their faces when they held something they created themselves.

We were able to wear them throughout our summer program, including on field trips, and it was amazing to see the shirts spark conversations with others who asked about the meaning behind the different Hawaiian words. These moments gave our students an opportunity to share the values they learn and practice at school with the larger community.

The timing made the experience even more exciting, as some of our students were watching the FIFA World Cup and already had favorite players they looked up to and wanted to be like. With the new soccer and training equipment, students were able to practice skills, work together, and build their confidence. One of my favorite parts of this project was collaborating with our 1st grade students for soccer activities. It is always special to watch our middle schoolers step into the role of teacher or coach with our littles encouraging them, demonstrating skills, and helping them learn.
