CREATOR SPACE
\n<\/span>This week we did soap resist paintings and finished up all our projects over the last few weeks. We also set up our gallery space with drawings for open house.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crdg.hawaii.edu\/summerprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SP-2024_0017_Cooking.png?resize=63%2C69&ssl=1\")

FULL STEAM AHEAD
\n<\/span>In our final week of Full STEAM Ahead, the students explored the states of matter and created some ooey gooey slime, which they thoroughly enjoyed! We also built and tested solar ovens to make delicious s’mores, rounding off our fun-filled summer of learning. Wishing you and your ‘ohana a wonderful rest of the summer!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crdg.hawaii.edu\/summerprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SP-2024_0034_HNS-Explorers-272x300.png?resize=63%2C69&ssl=1\")
HNS: EXPLORERS
\n<\/span><\/span>Our final week is all about Hawai’i’s reef and shore! On Monday, we took a field trip to the Waikiki Aquarium and explored the different animals we can find in our reefs and oceans. On Tuesday, the students learned about different native and invasive species and practiced Gyotaku! On Wednesday, we took a trip to the Makapu’u Tidepools and explored all the different animals we could find. On Thursday, the students were so excited to show everything that they have learned and created over the past 5 weeks! On Friday, it was our last day and we enjoyed it with water play and watching movies! I had an amazing time learning with all of my explorers, and I will forever cherish the fun memories we made this summer! Thank you for all of the support and patience! I will miss everyone so much.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crdg.hawaii.edu\/summerprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SP-2024_0035_HNS-Observers.png?resize=63%2C69&ssl=1\")

On Tuesday (7\/8), we went on a field trip to the Waikiki Aquarium, and on Wednesday (7\/9), we went on a field trip to the Makapu’u Tidepools. On Thursday (7\/10), we went on a bug, seed, and flower scavenger hunt and played a game of Pictionary to reflect on what we learned this summer.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crdg.hawaii.edu\/summerprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SP-2024_0033_HNS-Researchers.png?resize=64%2C71&ssl=1\")
<\/span>HNS: RESEARCHERS
\n<\/span>We had fantastic field trips to the Waikiki Aquarium, where students marveled at the incredible marine life and learned about Hawaii’s diverse ocean ecosystem. We also had an adventurous outing to the Makapu’u Tide Pools, exploring the unique intertidal zone and discovering fascinating creatures in their natural habitat. From creative arts to STEM workshops, the energy and enthusiasm have been fantastic. We’ve seen some incredible projects come to life.\u00a0 Have a great summer.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crdg.hawaii.edu\/summerprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SP-2024_0026_Lets-Play-Sports.png?resize=64%2C71&ssl=1\")
LET’S PLAY SPORTS<\/span>
\nOn this final week, we did one last review of all of the sports we’ve played so far, plus learned about volleyball.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crdg.hawaii.edu\/summerprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SP-2024_0022_Little-Journalists.png?resize=64%2C71&ssl=1\")
LITTLE JOURNALISTS<\/span>
\nWe continued to work on week 5 of our newsletter. This week, students practiced writing in past tense so their news articles make sense. We also got our newsroom (classroom) ready for our parents, and the students made slides to share with their families on what they’re learned this summer.\u00a0 We are so proud of what our journalists have accomplished in just five weeks!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crdg.hawaii.edu\/summerprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SP-2024_0024_Minecraft-Construct-and-Code.png?resize=64%2C71&ssl=1\")

THE LEADERSHIP LAB
\n<\/strong>Students learned de-escalation skills and an effective decision making process. They facilitated their last group activities with the HNS Researchers. They worked very hard preparing their Open House presentation, which was a great success with the parents! Thank you to the parents that were able to come and participate.<\/p>\n
