This year, during their All About Me unit, our kinders worked on a song that described their class and what they were all about. Each class chose an animal to represent them, and together they choreographed motions for their song. After it was written and choreographed, our kinders performed the song and dance in front of the school at our weekly flag gathering.

To spread forth, open up the most fine quality mat

To adorn with the lehua flower

From East to West; sunrise to sunset, we are discoverers, navigators, take care of our ʻāina

We thank our creators

We thank our ancestors

We thank you with love

We thank you with love

BACKGROUND

This oli was composed as a greeting of thanks for hospitality, love, generosity and knowledge that is given to us. It also gives thanks to the beauty of the islands and our people. Hāloa is ever-lasting breath. The kalo plant is considered our ancestor that is cherished and preserved. Makaloa is the finest mat woven. It is considered higher quality that lau hala. The message is that it is important for us to practice being “thankful” every day.

We Are Family (Hawaii Version)- Kindergarten

Our Kinders learned all about having good hygiene, including washing our hands the right way after we sneeze. My original Kindergarteners, 6 years ago(c/o 2025), wrote this song to help us remember what to do, while also having fun!

Blow, Throw, Wash & Go! Booger Song

5th Grade project: This chant is used to awaken the sun. We are teaching this chant to our fellow students to use during Friday flag. We feel it is important to learn about our host Hawaiian culture and to teach others about it.
