Aloha Parents,
Please read this week's newsletter. We are celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday this week!

Registration for incoming 2021-2022 Kindergarteners is now open. Students need to be five years old by July 31, 2021.

Many thanks to our Army and community partners who are helping to build our Hale Halawai. The trees for our hale were delivered by our Army partners on Thursday. Teachers came out to learn how to strip the bark from the trees on Friday, under the direction of our PCNC Coordinator, Keith Boychuk. If you would like to join us in this project, we will be bark stripping on Saturday 2/27 from 9:00am - 12:00pm. More photos are linked to this article.

We will be celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday during Spirit week on March 1-5. Come dressed for the occasion and have fun with us. Follow this post for more information.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go. — From the Dr. Seuss book, "I Can Read With My Eyes Closed"

MakerSpace teacher, Ms. Tateyama and Grade 1 teacher, Mrs. Morikawa, collaborate to combine coding with a lesson on skipping. The Splat devices are coded for students to participate in a game called Four Corners. The students enjoy playing the game while getting much needed physical activity. See the fun on the videos attached!

"Jackson Pollock was an influential American painter, and the leading force behind the abstract expressionist movement in the art world. Pollock's greatness lies in developing one of the most radical abstract styles in the history of modern art, detaching line from color, redefining the categories of drawing and painting, and finding new means to describe pictorial space."

Using our Sphero devices to code their movements, Mrs. Villarreal, our Visual Arts teacher, guided our students to create art pieces that emulate Pollock's works. Follow this post to see the finished artwork and videos!
