Aloha, ʻo wau ʻo Kaimana a eia Ka Waiwai Hawaiʻi o Ka Pule or the Hawaiian value of the week.
This weekʻs Waiwai Hawaiʻi is Hō’ihi which means respect.
Aloha, ʻo wau ʻo Hilina’i me ka haʻawina ʻaʻa no ka pule or challenge of the week. I challenge you to practice this value by treating teachers and other students the way you would want to be treated by remembering to say please and thank you. You can also show Hō’ihi by listening carefully when your teachers are speaking.
aloha, ʻo wau ʻo Mahinalani and I leave you with this ʻōlelo Noʻeau to keep in mind while you challenge yourself to practice this weekʻs Hawaiian value.
“E hō’ihi aku, e hō’ihi mai. Ke ola koa.” Which means “ Show respect, get respect, and Live long like a koa tree.” Have a great week and donʻt forget to practice Hō`ihi.
I lā maikaʻi!
TOGETHER: Aloha!

Thursday we’ll teach us how important our reaction time is as we learn about defensive driving. And on Friday, we would like everyone to come down to the front of the auditorium to take the pledge to take driving seriously.

In your social studies classes as well as some of your other classes, teachers are prepared to provide lessons that focus on the contributions of African Americans and African Descent across the world this month.
In 1926, Carter G Woodson established Negro History Week, and in 1976 it was expanded to the month long celebration we observe today.
Carter G Woodson was an African American historian who graduated with a Ph.D. from Harvard University. He founded the Association for the Study of African American Life and History.
Please stop by my classroom (C-216 A) During lunch recess and we can share stories about African American culture this month.
