ANIMALS IN ART
\n<\/strong>For this last week, our artists put all of our knowledge together to build our shoebox animal habitats. This final project was a mixed media project where students used various modes of art to build our art piece, including creating animals out of air-dry clay.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crdg.hawaii.edu\/summerprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SP-2024_0023_Creative-Programming.png?resize=63%2C69&ssl=1\")
CREATIVE PROGRAMMING WITH SCRATCH
\n<\/strong>This week, we worked super hard to finish and bug fix our projects for the Open House on Thursday! Every student did their best to put together around two projects to show with their group or by themselves. Thursday ended up being an absolute blast!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crdg.hawaii.edu\/summerprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SP-2024_0014_Creator-Space-Advanced.png?resize=64%2C71&ssl=1\")

\nAll of your children worked so hard to \u2018curate\u2019 their museum for their families! I was happy to be able to speak directly to many of you at Open House.

MINECRAFT: A VIRTUAL LEARNING ADVENTURE
\n<\/strong>This week the students finished building their historical Hawaiian monuments while also learning about the locations. They were able to use Minecraft to make visual aid posters for open house.<\/p>\n![\"Passport](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crdg.hawaii.edu\/summerprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SP-2026-Icons_0008_Passport-to-Art.png?resize=63%2C69&ssl=1\"){kind=icon}
PASSPORT TO ART
\n<\/span>As we wrapped up our final week together, students explored artistic traditions inspired by the Americas through hands-on projects from Peru and Mexico. Students practiced weaving by creating colorful woven textiles inspired by Peruvian traditions, and created Huichol-inspired yarn paintings while learning how patterns and color can tell stories. Throughout the week, students also completed their country posters and presentations in preparation for sharing everything they learned during our “Art Around the World Museum” Open House. Thank you for sharing your children with us this summer. It has been a pleasure watching their creativity, curiosity, and confidence grow as they explored art from around the world!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crdg.hawaii.edu\/summerprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SP-2024_0019_Robo-III-VEX.png?resize=63%2C69&ssl=1\")
ROBOTICS WITH VEX<\/strong>

SLEUTH ACADEMY FOR JR. DETECTIVES
\n<\/strong>Our week 5 theme was Blood Evidence.
\nOur detectives learned about basic properties of blood and its role as forensic evidence. They also learned about blood types and analyzed simulated blood samples to distinguish types as well as played a blood transfusion game online. Then, they learned to distinguish between different types of bloodstain patterns and analyze their implications as evidence. Finally, they created their own crime scene dioramas to challenge their friends.<\/p>\n![\"STEAM](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crdg.hawaii.edu\/summerprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SP-2026-Icons_0004_LEGO-Spike.png?resize=62%2C68&ssl=1\"){kind=icon}

\n<\/strong>This week your ecologists wrapped up by reviewing content and finishing any projects. On Monday, we welcomed guest speaker, Mar Leatherman, to learn about weather and pollution! On Tuesday, we finished learning about decomposers by reviewing sea cucumbers and whale falls. We have had a fantastic time learning about the wonders of the sea!<\/p>\n
