Mahalo to our Papa (class) for your work ethic. I learned a lot from building the dam up and making a safer crossing to our lo'i kalo. I heard someone say that what we are doing in our mauka lab is useless and not applicable for us in becoming adults.I would like to point out that that line of thinking is not only disrespectful and shortsighted, but actually mocking what Hakipu'u Learning

Below I have some reflections on what we did today. I advise all of you students to write a journal in your planner everyday as well as log your hours in your planner as well.We should have ha'aha'a. We should be proud about our work to raise kalo, but we should never brag about it. In Uncle Cal's words, if we brag about our kalo "goin jam us up." And he also said that we should never brag

Aloha Kakou,I have been learning so much while being here at HLC. While having 4 post evals, 3 of which for our 'ohana, I have learned the following:-Each of our students is capable of great work-Saying " Oh its on the computer," during a pre or post evaluation meeting is not a good thing.-Not having a complete and accurate time log is lethal.-We need to have more evidence of work shown and

We learned a lot today in our Basic Skills Workshops. I hope all you students take some time to share with your parents and guardians what you learned.We talked a lot in our reading time about the Ali'i system and the Feudal system. We made a Venn diagram and made comparisons between the two systems. We never quite made a comparison of the similarities, but rather just the differences. We
