June 5 – June 9
The kumu’s (t eachers) at Adobe Montessori School w elcome their new and
continuing friends with a traditional Hawaiian greeting of leis and present
them with their Hawaiian name! We’ll search the world over to locate the
Hawaiian Islands, just like Captain Cook ~ who discovered the “Sandwich
Islands,” as the Hawaiian isles were once called! Let’s explore the islands,
archipelagos and the mysteries of a bubbling volcano! We’ll study the
amazing hidden treasures the Hawaiian Islands hold for us. We’ll learn the
parts of a volcano, build our own archipelagos, and have some “volcanic fun”
with science experiments. We’ll have to take cover as our own Kaho’olawe
volcano erupts!
IT’S SURE TO BE A BLAAAAST!

Let’s catch the waves and sail out to sea! The ocean is an underwater
adventure all its own. Sharks, whales, seahorses, starfish, jellyfish, otters, sea
turtles, crabs… ocean life galore! There is so much to discover in this vast
kingdom! We’ll be singing seashore tongue twisters, painting sand dollar
necklaces, and making sea shell picture frames. Shell matching, great ocean
stories, listening to music of the sea, and balancing on a “surf” board!!
(Arizona style ~ dudes!) Don’t forget your sunscreen! Sun safety and water
safety is SO important ~ whether in a Hawaiian paradise or in our steaming
Arizona desert. We will learn about keeping ourselves protected from the sun
and how to be super safe around water.

This week will begin by blowing the traditional large conch shell horn, or “pu”,
to signal the beginning of Luau Week. We will feel like true Hawaiian kamali’i
(children) as we play traditional games, finger plays, and learn Hawaiian
children’s stories. We will learn to dance the Hula and how to speak using the
art of the “nohea” Hawaiian hand language. We will act as true kama’ainas
(natives) when we make our own grass skirts, flower leis, “ipus” (drums), and
dance the Huki Lau all week long!

Go mad for mangoes, pluck a papaya, go bananas, pick a juicy sweet
pineapple, get a guava, and find the star in the carambola. Flavorful, yummy
sweet, nutritious, exotic island fruit. From tasting games and smell matching,
to the skill of picking the best fruit to eat, we’ll traipse all over the islands and
learn where they grow. We’ll have fun with fruit counting and make fruity
headbands with pineapple stamping. Let’s taste coconuts, mangoes,
papayas, pineapples and sugar cane and make banana boats! We’ll even
make our own fruity pizzas (yummy & healthy too!!) On Friday we’ll shake our
pat ooties to “Toot y Fruit y~All~Rudy!”

bands, and pat riotic songs will be part of the fun of America’s Birthday Week!
We’ll make 4th of July windsocks with stars and stripes plus more fun arts and
crafts! We’ll make a Hawaiian State Book and learn the state bird, flower,
tree, state seal, the names of the eight islands – plus, the official flower of
each island! For the grand finale on Thursday, we will celebrate with
watermelon, angel food cake, blueberries and cool whip ~ Red, White and

How much rain does a tropical island get in a year? Let’s compare objects
that change textures when they get wet, discover what objects sink and what
objects float, and compare rainwater to saltwater. Let’s listen to the sounds of
a rain stick – and then make our own rain stick! And what is the most beautiful
sight after a good rain? A rainbow!! Rainbow art projects, color mixing, and
play dough fun! Our grand finale will be a special Friday surprise with some
chillin’ cool snow cones and a Hawaiian pizza party!
