5th graders from Ms. Shirk's class are sharing examples of how we practice kilo to build on our understanding of the world around us and brainstorm possible solutions to real world problems.  We also reflect on our observations as a means of strengthening our connection to Nā Hopena A‘o. 

Haumana from Ms. Ceus' class used kilo as a summative assessment to demonstrate their understanding of the interactions of earth spheres. 

Cultivating Connections; Strengthening Hā

Mrs. Ino's haumana practice kilo regularly to build our relations with the aina and with each other. Through kilo, we strengthen our Hā as we use our five senses to gain new knowledge and make real world connections. We reflect on our findings to affirm our understanding. 

On April 26, 2024 our school community was invited to campus to participate in a variety of STEM related stations. Grade 5 welcomed parents, students, IPES alumni, and community members to visit our orchard, practice kilo and provide input on naming this space. We had over 100 guest to our orchard during this event.
