Spooktacular Halloween Carnival

Our kindergartners had a frightfully fun time at our annual Halloween Carnival! The students rotated through a variety of high-energy games designed to put their gross motor skills—like putting, tossing, and rolling—to the test.

Adding to the magic, our wonderful 4th graders stepped up as game leaders! They manned each station and cheered on our little learners every step of the way. It was incredible to watch our older students mentor and encourage our kindergartners as they built confidence and played together.  Thank you 4th graders!

The Great Pumpkin Investigation!

Our young scientists put their observation and math skills to the test during our hands-on Pumpkin Investigation! First, students examined several pumpkins and recorded their physical attributes—noting differences in size, weight, shape, and shades of orange.

Using their observation data, the class formed a hypothesis: Pumpkin #3 would have the most seeds because it was the darkest orange, the heaviest, and one of the tallest!

The next day, with the help of our fantastic parent volunteers, we cut the pumpkins open and got counting. To everyone's surprise, Pumpkin #5 took the crown with a grand total of 542 seeds! To wrap up the activity, students put on their creative hats and designed carving ideas to turn our pumpkins into festive jack-o'-lanterns. A big mahalo to our parent volunteers for helping make this investigation a success!

Halloween Spirit Week

Halloween spirit was in full swing at Kahala from October 26–30! Our students had a blast dressing up in different themes each day to celebrate the season and showcase their school pride. Take a look at some of our favorite moments from a week full of fun and creativity! Sparkly costumes, big smiles, and lots of Kahala spirit!
