Today's Mauka lab was great! We constructed stairs where there was once a treacherous slope and pulled out four tree stumps and were treated to a nice and refreshing suprise.

In talking with Uncle Cal and other members of our HLC 'ohana I am reminded that leaders lead by example. I also remember learning that if we want to change a situation we find ourselves in, we only need change ourselves to affect the situation.

And lastly, sometimes we don't always see the other side of the pancake. Sometimes we don't even remember that there is always two sides to the pancake.

Homework and Project Update

Aloha Kakou,

For yesterday and today, the main focus is getting as far as possible in our projects. We also have need to work on our math. Ka'ainoa and Isaac have moved forward in their math by finishing their first unit. Mahalo for setting a good example.

Our parents can help in project work by looking over our project proposals and making sure there are no typos or grammatically incorrect sentences. Each sentence should tie into the essential and driving questions. Other elements of the project proposal form (PPF) should be clearly communicated by our students.

Parents can ask students to tell them details about their projects.

Any questions, please email me at feki54@gmail.com

Mahalo,
Kumu Feki

Aloha Friday

Aloha,

As we come to the close of week four in our second block, it is exciting to me to see all of your progression. Even if there have been certain struggles, each of you has demonstrated and shown great enthusiasm coupled with intelligence.

Our homework will remain the same in terms of math and project work, but I am hopeful that those of you who have not yet turned in your 9/11 writing assignment will do so by Monday. The question for this assignment is: "In your opinion, why did the attacks on September 11th, 2001 occur?"

Enjoy the weekend!
Kumu Feki
