This week was from July 2, 2012 to July 6, 2012. On the 4th of July, we had no school, as in, nobody came to school because it was not required. The day prior to our “little break”, kumu gave us a crap load of home work. He gave us four worksheets to get done and turn in on Thursday all done and correct. This week we had covered pekepe us painu, nono’a he, and we learned more about na mea ohana, pepeke e painu, ko and ka markers, and the other word instead of ‘a’ole which is mai. Mai means don’t. On Tuesday, we took a quiz on ohana (family) terms. This week was a short week so we only learned the basics on all of the major topics. On this weeks vocabulary quiz, I think I did pretty good. I think I did good because I studied as much as I could the night before and the morning of the test. We also threw the balls at people to learn. On Wednesday, we had no school, and did whatever it is that we like to do on the fourth of July. For me, that meant a paddling race, the day in Waikiki, sunburn, and I scorched my bangs and had to cut them myself. Our girls 13 (my division) did really good in the race by placing FIRST!!!!! It was good that this race did not count for points, because the only reason the came first was because they had a good steersman and was able to catch waves. Our coach did not let me race in this race because she wants the girls who do not regularly race to be in this one because it does not count for points. On Thursday, we went over plenty stuff. We learned a lot, and we also reviewed plenty before the test. We went over the painu and everything we learned this week so that we could do good on the test. We also went over the mo’olelo as well as the two chants. Today, in the morning, we chanted into the classroom, said prayer, then began our ho’ike. Todays exam consisted of reading a story and answering questions on the story. We had to answer multiple choice questions, as well as true or false questions. After that, we got a paper, got to choose what we were going to write on out of where we are from, ourselves, the kalo, and the la’i. I choose to write about myself because that is what I know most about. I wrote about a page and a halfin the color pink with a pink ballpoint pen. Then we came here, to midkiff, and edited our blogs. Then we wrote this blog entry on this week, the week of July 2 through July 6. This had to be really long so I am going to repeat this line. Then we came here, to midkiff, and edited our blogs.
