The Chilibean Connection

November 13, 2015 - Volume 3: Issue 6

November...what a time to be grateful for all our blessings.

I just wanted to say that I appreciate my time with all of my Chilibean's each and
every day! I look forward to a wonderful rest of the school year. Mahalo for all the
support and kindness you have show me and the children every day! Mrs.Yee
We had a very
full week last
week! It
started with
spending time
down in
Kuaihealani
with Kumu
Ane. We
talked about
our beloved
lands of
Punahou and
the gift that
the Hawaiian
Alii gave to
the early
Missionaries to help them educate their own
children. Then we spent some time refreshing
our memories about directions and the phases
of the moon. From there we spent time
working on our Ka Punahou Chant and

learning about the sweet potato. It sure was

fun!
We spent some time this past week
decorating and preparing for Thanksgiving
and our Thanksgiving Feast! Mark your
calendars, it will be on Friday, November
20th from 10:15 - 11:45. We will be having a
short poetry reading and then we will get to
sit and enjoy a meal together! Thanks so
much in advance for all the food and
generous spirits. I am so grateful!
We are busy working on our 2nd quarter
writing pieces so be sure to check in with
your Chilbean about their stories and
progress! We are also working hard on our
Generational Timeline and will be reading a
story about a young girl and her desire to
migrate from her home country to America.
Thanks to those of you who were able to
come to the Hawaii Plantation Village field
trip! It was neat to see how families lived!
