I'm so excited that we will be having computer class every other week this year! On Friday, our computer teacher led the kids through a typing lesson, which is a great skill for them to develop. The program they used is called Dance Mat Typing. It's a free program that kids can practice at home if they like. There's a link to it on the Websites for Students page on this site, along with a number of other fun and educational websites they might want to access at home.
Library
Our school library is currently being remodeled! During the remodel, students won't be able to check out books from the library. However, I am letting them check out a book from our classroom library to take home. Please remind your child to return his or her book on Monday morning so that a new book may be checked out.
During the remodel, our new school librarian will be coming to each classroom to lead kids through library activities. In the past, students had library time once every three weeks. This year, I'm pleased to say we will get library time every other week.
PE
PE classes will be held every other Wednesday this year. Our first PE class will be this coming Wednesday, Sept. 2. Please remember to have your child wear tennis shoes and bring lots of water on PE days.
Hawaiian Studies
We will have Hawaiian studies classes every week this year.
Garden
Every other week, students will have the chance to work and learn in our school garden. I will be sure to post pictures here after our first, fun outing in the garden.
