October & November 2014 Dear Parents and Ohana, I hope that you’ve been able to view two videos posted on our school website, kailuain.k12.hi.us. One of the clips highlights common core practices that are taking place in classrooms across our school. Filmed at the end of last school year, viewers will see many shots of students engaged in really cool activities that challenge them to think critically, such as building and testing out 3D printers, designing football plays, or discussing the implications of letting the South secede in the Civil War. The second clip is a lip dub, which combines lipsynching and audio dubbing, organized by our student leaders to build school spirit and unity. It was filmed in one shot and showcases activities across the campus. On another positive note, I’m proud that, even with the increased rigor demanded by common core standards, almost half, 49%, of our students earned a 3.5 Grade Point Average or higher. Fifty-one seventh graders, or 14.2 percent and 49 eighth graders, or 15.8 percent, earned 4.0 Grade Point Averages. We’d like to see more students on the honor roll and are promoting a growth mindset at Kailua Intermediate to help students achieve this goal. With a growth mindset, students believe that good grades are a reward for hard work and effort rather than luck or favoritism. Students with a growth mindset seek out opportunities to challenge themselves, can stick to it even when things are going well, and believe that anyone can be anything. Parents helping a child develop a growth mindset might ask their child to share the most difficult task attempted that day. For more information on growth and fixed mindsets I encourage you to read Carol Dweck’s book, Mindset. Malama Pono Lisa DeLong, Ed.D Principal Hai Pono O Kailua October & November 2014 Page 2 Marine Corps Base Hawaii – Headquarters Battalion Signs Partnership Agreement with Kailua Intermediate School October 3, 2014 was a special day for us at Kailua Intermediate School. Many months of planning with Headquarters Battalion were highlighted at the Exploratory Day morning assembly. Capt. George Stamps stepped in for Lt. Col. Robert Maldonado for the event. Together, Capt. Stamps and Principal Lisa DeLong signed the agreement that begins our formal relationship. Currently fifteen volunteers, help in four classrooms on alternating Wednesdays. They especially assist with reading programs, but truly help with whatever the teachers and students need. The ceremony was completed by 8th grade student, Elysse McCabe, reading her 1 st Place winning essay “Courage” from the Month of the Military Kid Essay Contest last April. HQBN will have a significant presence at our upcoming USA Weekend – KIS Make a Difference Day on Saturday, November, 15th.

Recently, three of our student leaders, Tehina Misi, Kunio Metsker, and Leah Mills, were junior facilitators at the Kalaheo Complex Leadership Conference at Camp Erdman. They attended so they could learn and develop new activities and leadership methods to benefit our school. Andreya Saberon, began the year by doing the same, and was the first of the Student Council leaders to be a facilitator at the Kailua Elementary Leadership Camp in August. On October 31st, Student Council hosted a fun and successful Halloween Costume Contest! It took a lot of planning and approval seeking with the Principal! We were so happy at the amazing turnout; there were many participants, and lots of awesome costumes! We are hoping to have the contest again next year! During November, Student Council is initiating 7th grade Council elections. The candidates gave speeches to their peers during lunch after Election Day. On November 14th, the 7th graders will vote. These newly elected officers will finish this school year representing their class and helping to plan the rest of the year’s Student Council sponsored events.

Hai Pono O Kailua October & November 2014 Page 7 Items Needed for Cooking and Sewing Classes! Family and Consumer Science (formerly called Home Economics) is the field of study that deals with the economics and management of the home and community. Topics such as consumer education, sewing, cooking, cleaning, nutrition, hygiene and food safety are just some of the topics covered in this one semester course. FCS Instructor, Mrs. Evans, has been teaching other courses throughout her many years at KIS and just this year began teaching FCS. Her second semester schedule has 5 full periods of 20 students each. It is a very popular elective! However, her 5 kitchenettes do not have enough “tools” for each. Each kitchen seems to be missing a few items. If you have any of these extra in your kitchen, if you see a good deal at Ross’s, or catch a good Black Friday Sale(  ), please share them with Mrs. Evans’ students. They will be much appreciated! All donations will be accepted in the office. Kitchen Items Needed: Dry Measuring Cups basic set of 4 sizes (¼ c., 1/3 c., ½ c., 1 cup) Measuring Spoons – basic set of 4 sizes (¼ t., ½ t. 1 t., 1 T) Chopping Boards (medium size) Skillet – 10-inch, oven safe Cloth Napkins Dish Towels Potholders (used are ok) Flatware (5 sets- forks, knives, t. spoons, T. spoons) Dinner forks (for cooking and baking) Plates – Corelle (brand preferred), appetizer size Knives – 1 set assorted kitchen Knives – Paring Knives – Chef’s Rice Cooker Blender Can Opener (hand crank) Hand Mixers Pots and Pans sets Pastry Blenders Vegetable Peelers Whisks Mixing Spoons The sewing unit will teach basic techniques with at twist. Following a pattern will be covered, but Mrs. Evans will teach more things by taking apart garments so students can learn how to put them back together versus the traditional pattern method. An idea that is very practical for basic sewing and mending garments! Sewing Items Needed: Fabric scraps – 100% cotton preferred Used (but still in good condition) – aloha shirts and muumuus – we can deconstruct the garment and use the fabric for projects) Used (men’s) denim jeans (100% cotton) Utility fabrics – muslin, denim, canvas Stuffing (for pillows) Batting (any size) Pillow forms Seam rippers Thread clippers Tape measures (flexible) Yarn – worsted weight (4 ply) preferred Hai Pono O Kailua October & November 2014 Page 8 Water Pollution Prevention At Kailua Intermediate School Kailua Intermediate School is located on S. Kainalu Drive between Kuukama Street and Kailua District Park Field in Kailua on Oahu. Storm water discharges from the campus flow via S. Kainalu Drive to Kailua Road, Wana’ao Road, and Awakea Road to the City Drainage System, which discharges to Kawainui Stream, a Class 2 inland water. The average annual rainfall at the school is approximately 55 inches. The school site is fairly flat campus. When it rains, water flows over campus and streets carrying the pollutants it picks up into storm drains. Storm drains are not connected to the wastewater treatment plant. Therefore, the pollutant water flows directly into our streams and ocean. Pollutant means any hazardous waste petroleum products, pesticides, detergents, chemical fertilizers, sewage, sludge, animal waste, soil erosion and soil, accumulation of sediments, and construction waste materials. What You Can Do To Help Protect Water STAFF ACTIVITIES Use water wisely. By conserving water, the amount of wastewater needing treatment and disposal whill be reduced. Overwatering and runoff can carry pollutants into the storm drains system. Use and dispose hazardous substances properly. Always read the product label and choose the least toxic alternative. Motor oil, paints, solvents and other chemicals should not be poured on the ground or down the storm drains because they can pollute our streams and ocean. Motor woil is recycled at oil change locations; other chemical products should be first used up the buying only the amount needded, typically unused excess could be evaporated or soaked into clay litter, wrapped in plastic and disposed with trash. Excess pesticides require special handling and must be disposed as hazardous waste. Use fertilizer and pesticides sparingly. Choose the least toxic alternatative such as compost for fertilizer, repellant/resistant plants and instead of bug sprays, use baited traps. Follow label instructions and use only the amount needed. Apply outdoors only during dry weather, rain water can easily carry substances to nearby storm drains and streams. Landscape the land to prevent erosion. Cover bare ground with grass, shribs or trees to hold soil in place. Establish native plantings and provide vegetation buffer zones along storm drains and streams. Improve housekeeping. Fix water leaks throughout campus by replacing faucet washers and toilet flappers as needed. A slow drip or leak can easily waste more than 100 gallons of water a week. Put all litter into trash cans so it does not get washed into the storm drains or streams. Implement annual campus cleanup event. Coodinate cleanup event fo the whole campus to collect litter and address andy other issues that would impact storm water quality, such as storage of materials and soil erosion area. Maintain record of litter collected and other changes that impact storm water quality and take before and after photos of campus. Hai Pono O Kailua October & November 2014 Page 9 STUDENT ACTIVIES Study storm water management. Teachers can address hazards associated with illicit discharges to out storm drains and streams. Develop steps that can be taken to reduce storm water pollution. Learn about good housekeeping. Good housekeeping practices are simply maintaining a safe, orderly and clean learning environment. Conduct an individual or class project to reinforce pollution prevention activities consistent with protecting storm water. Learn where your wastewater goes. Investigate the wastewater drainage process from campus to the ocean via streams, storm and sewer drains. Educate Others. Conduct an individual or class project to inform others about protecting our ocean from pollution. Participate in annual campus cleanup event. Participate in campus cleanup day to collect litter and address any other issues that would impact storm water quality, such as storage of materials and soil erosion area.
