I absolutely LOVED Curtain Call, Ms. Bright's final musical at our school. I went both nights! I'm SO proud of all of the students who were in it. It's been a week, and I'm still thinking of how amazing the show was. Thank you, Ms. Bright, for all you've done with your Drama Club. I'm proud of YOU!
I went to Kahilu Theater in Waimea to see one of my students perform in a dance show, and I loved watching the skills, confidence, and determination of all of the performers. Sydney Atwood, your group's performances were fantastic. I'm so proud of you! This was the highlight of my weekend. :)

Students are reading the book Healing Water, and we are about halfway through. Today they worked in teams and focused on one character and one scene from a chapter. The teams also came up with open ended questions about the book ... I LOVE this book!!

7th graders are reading Healing Water by Joyce Moyer Hostetter. It is a historical fiction book about leprosy, Father Damien, friendship, struggles, tragedy, Kalaupapa, and family love. It's one of the best books I've ever read, and it ties into the 7th grade social studies curriculum. I LOVE THIS STORY!
We're on the home stretch! All classes set their year-end goals. One goal I have for my students is to teach them more about being self-directed learners. There's so much freedom in being responsible for for our own learning. :)
A group from our class is working on the door decorating contest for Pi Day. What a fun day! We had games, decorated our door, wrote Piku poems, had an assembly, got to eat pie, and the whole middle school lined up in "Pi" number order. What a perfect way to end our 3rd quarter. Happy Spring Break, everyone!
Our Pi Day door. :) Nice Work, class!

Rory, Aaron, and Keona working as a team discussing the correct argument or overarching claim from several examples of the beginning of argumentative essays. We're getting ready to write our essays soon! I have a few points to teach them and examples to show and then we are off ...
