It's your second week of, "Quote Of The Week!" ~Welcome back!~ I really love doing the "Quote Of The Week"! I am going to start adding pictures to the endings of my quote of the week as well, just for a visual. When I am looking for inspiring quotes, it inspires me as I read them, and makes me feel like I am helping all of our readers that choose to read our blogs. It gives me a feel of meaning and passion, and joy while I write up, "Quote Of The Week" blogs. Anyway, this week, I focused my quote choice on "Insides not out." That may sound confusing right now, but once you read this blog, it will make much more sense! So, please continue reading!<br />
~"Art doesn't have to be pretty. It has to be meaningful." Duane Hanson~<br />
This quote, in my opinion, is sending out a simple but strong message throughout all people. This quote, in my definition, basically is saying it's what's on the insides that count, not the outsides. It is just like the quote, "Don't judge a book by it's cover." {Cover: The outside.} {Pages: The insides.} All that matters is the personality and warm-heart. So, anyways, referring back to the quote, this ties in with the quote I have chosen. When, you are doing art you need to focus on what the moral of your drawing, or painting is. I mean, if it has a good meaning and moral it will always look perfect from the outside! So, art does not have to look pretty, it needs a moral. When you hear the word art, this is probably what you think: {It needs to look perfect. Perfect is best. Neatness gives a better grade.} But this is what you need to think: {Moral is meaning. What does this mean?} Art is meant to express, and if your art (which can also be a metaphor for your life) has a moral and you can explain the meaning it is already perfect.</td></tr>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">On Friday we had a field trip for our district's annual track meet for all 5th and 6th graders. Even if you were not on the team, we had a lot of fun cheering for our school. With Ms. Coffin's drumming, we sure did roar the crowd up. I interviewed Taryn Kanai, a runner for track and she said she had a lot of fun because she got to compete with other schools and build teamwork. It was super fun, our school either won 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place. We were very excited for all of our runners that represented KEONEULA! I lost my voice cheering for you guys! I also interviewed a 5th grade runner, Guy Leopard who ran the 200m and 100m and won 2nd and 3rd place. I would like to say to all you track runners and cheer squad in the stands, GOOD JOB!!</span> <br />

</div>
<br style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Spirit week was awesome!
Many people showed their school spirit everyday! Monday was pajama day.
I really loved this day because I didn't have to get ready in the
morning. The favorite pajama set I saw was one with a monkey holding a cupcake.
Tuesday was twin day, and I was twins with my bff Dasia. On Wednesday was
mustache day, and my favorite mustache was a little boy's one. He had a
mask with a face, mustache, beard and everything. Thursday was sports
day, you could have dressed up as someone you favor in athletics or in
a sport that you play. I saw lots of people wearing either football or
soccer uniforms. Finally, casual day was my favorite because everyone
dressed up however they wanted. Following dress code of course. Also thank
you to all the people who dressed in purple for Purple Up Day on Monday to support our
military and their families because they deserve recognition and honor. </span><br />

<br />
It's that time of year again, students get to wear something according to the
theme of the day. It's called <span style="color: #bf9000;">SpIrIt WeEk</span>!! This years spirit week themes are as follows. <span style="color: #cc0000;">Monday is pajama day, Tuesday is twin day, Wednesday is mustache day, Thursday
is sports day, and Friday is casual day</span>. We don't have to wear our uniforms, be
creative and crazy with these days, it's your time to shine. Of course clothing
has to be appropriate, and we have a dress code that we still need to follow. To look at the
dress code to make sure your child's clothing is appropriate, please go to our
school website and go to the tab for students, and it should have a school dress
code policy. Thank you
and get ready to show off your school spirit. Go Cubs!<br />

<span style="color: #4f4f4f; font-family: "Marker Felt"; font-size: 15pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Hey fellow bloggers! We have a
surprise! Each week (starting this week) we are going to start having a quote
of the week. That means, one of us journalist, will choose a quote we see and
like, and create a blog on what we think that certain quote means! It’ll be
loads of fun! This topic is mainly purposed to inspire you. You should
try to apply some of these quotes to life, because it would benefit you and
your life. When I found my quote for this week, it was really meaningful to me,
and I will now try to apply it to my life! So anyway, let’s get on to the grand
opening of… “Quote Of The Week!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.”</strong></span> Inspired by:
William James, 1842-1910</span></div>

is just one of my all time favorite quotes! It is that type of quote that <u>everyone
</u>can and should apply to their life. Anyways, this is what I think this
quote means: You do not have to be afraid of living your life. Life is meant to be
lived! You should not waste your life. By that, I mean, stop just sitting
there. Go on an adventure! You shouldn’t waste your life because you never
know when it will be over. Live your life to the best of your abilities, and don't be afraid of new experiences. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This blog is for Sally Ride. She changed history for all
women. A long time ago women did not have the same rights as men. It was as if
there was a glass ceiling keeping women below men. But Sally Ride broke through that glass celing, and pushed to get where she wanted to be. She also inspired other women to do the same. Sally Ride was the first female astronaut in space, in 1983. Sally
Ride was born in May 1951. As a child growing up, she loved science and math. She
enjoyed playing tennis and after high school she thought that she might become a
professional tennis player but later found out it was not for her. She went to
Stanford university in California. Her moment was in 1977 when she responded to
a newspaper ad that NASA was looking for astronauts. Over 8,000 applied but only
25 were hired, and she was one of them! After lots of hard work and training she
went to space. She died at 61 years old from pancreatic cancer. Sally Ride
changed history and will never be forgotten.</span><br />

<br />
By: Taryn Kanai<br /><br />This month is Women's Appreciation Month, it's a month
where we honor, study, and celebrate the women in the past that have done so much for us. Since
its Women's Appreciation Month, I've decided to talk about Rosa Parks, a very inspiring and courageous woman. Rosa was
born on the 4th of February in 1913. Rosa Parks is no ordinary person, she is most known as one of the first African-Americans to not surrender her seat to a white passenger. Since
that happened the city that she lived in (Montgomery) had no choice but to lift
the law requiring segregation on public buses. Now that you know a little about Rosa Parks, are you more appreciative of the power and influence of women and what it means to be a true risk taker? Are you prepared to stand up for what is right, like Rosa Parks did?<br />

A Supreme Court ruling, which banned segregation on the city's public transit vehicles, took effect. Mrs. Parks' arrest on December 1st, 1955, for sitting in a bus forward of white passengers, touched off the boycott of Montgomery negroes against the city's bus lines.</p>

<br />
Guess what holiday we celebrated last week on March 26th? It was Prince Kuhio Day! Your probably wondering who's that?
I'll answer that for you! Let's start with the history behind Prince
Kuhio. First of all, his whole name is Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole. He was prince
when the Kingdom of Hawaii was being removed from power by businessmen in 1893.
Then he became a politician in the Territory of Hawaii, and he was a delegate
in the US Congress. He was also the very first Native Hawaiian and the very
first person to be elected in that position that was a born a royal. <br />

<br />By: Taryn Kanai and Dasia Burr<br /><br />Spring break is finally
here! What are you going to do? If you said eat, sleep, and watch T.V. all break
then you have a pretty boring life. Go out and do something, like have a sleepover, go shopping, play
outside, do something active and productive! The most important thing you probably need to remember is that
during spring, the weather is just right, nature is so beautiful and it's the perfect time to
spend with family and friends! Another thing to remember is during spring break
you better review what you have learned at school, so that when you come back to
school, you won't be brain washed and not remember anything. Remember to be
balanced this Spring Break!<br />

Families enjoyed moving through different stations of Family Feud, learning about vermicast and different types of plants growing in our garden, learning how much power goes into powering an incandescent vs. a CFL, playing a sorting game with the Kokua Foundation, and learning how to turn all of our food scraps (meat and all!) into compost. Great prizes were given throughout the night, and KIC students put on an entertaining Gangnam style dance, rewritten by Zarren Oasay to fit the Green theme. An exciting and interesting night! <br />

<span style="background-color: lime;">By: Taryn Kanai<br /><br />On March 15, we are having a Go Green
Night, which you guess it, is all focused on going green! There is going to be lots of
games having to do with going green. For example, KIC will have a family fued about
recycling, relay races, so on and so forth. Plus we even have a special
performance, it will be performed by our very own.......... KIC members YAY!!
This night will be student led, there will be some teachers talking throughout
the night but mostly students. There will also be other foundations there like
HECO (Hawaiian Electric Company), and their mission is to provide secure, clean
energy, and we will also be having the Kokua Foundation, which is a non-profit
organization that supports environmental education. It will be lots of fun I
promise, hope to see you there!</span> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10747581494232247868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2250216291291361897.post-11210150592677399732013-03-08T16:41:00.002-08:002013-03-08T16:41:22.248-08:00Question of the WeekBy: Rhyanne Javier<br />

Hey everyone! I would like to tell you about Ms.Akama, our new Japanese language teacher to our current K-2 students. Ms.Akama is a nice,
sweet lady who was born and raised in Japan. She has always loved Japan and one of her favorite Japanese traditions is their New Year's tradition. She likes it because she gets to spend time
with her family and they get to eat delicious fruit and ozoni. She really loves teaching
the kids at Keone'ula because she feels the kids are really bonding with the Japanese culture.
If you happen to see her on campus be sure to

Hey everyone! We have a new teacher in training and her name is Mrs.Yamaguchi.
Mrs.Yamaguchi is very exited to help teach students, and is training
in Mrs.Matsuura's class. She wants to become a teacher because she has always
been involved with helping people. She is currently attending the University of
Phoenix and her hobbies are volleyball and judo. If you happen to see her on
campus, be sure to say hi!

Febuary 22, 6th grade went on a field trip to 3 churches/temples. The first one
we went to was Immaculate Conception (a Catholic church). Reverend Dalton talked
to us about the artifacts and why they are so special or what they are
symbolized for. After he talked for a little while we got to look around the
church, it was so cool looking at the different artifacts. The next stop was to
Temple Emanu-al (Jewish temple). There we had a guest speaker talk about the torah scrolls, and the 10 commandments. The last temple we went to was the Byodoin at the Valley of the Temples in Kaneohe.
We had fun here because we got to
ring a bell, look at a big Buddha, and got to feed the koi fish. We had lots of
fun on this field trip and we hope next year's 6th graders can go on the same
field trip and have as much fun as we did. Thank you very much to the very kind speakers at all of our visits for sharing their knowledge and spirituality! <br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Have you ever wondered where your food came from? No, I'm not talking about
all that "Oh, this place does this!' or "Oh, this place has chicken
hormones in their chicken!" I'm talking about things like: Where was it
grown? Who grew it? How was it brought to my plate? You know, things like that.
But have you ever asked yourself these questions? Think about it. Whether it be
when you went out with some family, or if you just bought some groceries and
was preparing dinner. Have you ever really thought about it? Well right now,
your thinking will have to be put on hold. Here's what this week's blog is
really about! Over the past years, and some may even say decades, local buyers
(which SHOULD be us, have very much dwindled. With mainland competitors ,
Hawaii's growing popuation, cost of labor, land/water problems, lack of
technology, and much, much more, local suppliers find it harder and harder to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>keep up. But what the people really need to
know is why they should buy locally. So here's some reasons and some tips to
help you out:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Reason
#1: You'll be supporting local farmers. Won't seeing one less person out of
work be satisfying, and to know that you just spread aloha to someone else out
of just one magnanimous act be something very much worth your time?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Reason
#2: Local= healthier. You know why? It's fresher. Well picture this. Food that
is locally grown is from right here in Hawaii. Food that is grown in the
mainland is, well, grown in the mainland, literally hundreds of miles away. So
take your pick. Food that goes straight from a farm to a store or restaurant,
or food that goes straight into some packaged box for days, maybe even weeks to
get to you.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">

#3: It's getting easier! Yes, you heard right: buying locally is becoming
easier. More and more stores, such as Foodland and Times Supermarkets are
picking up on the thrend of local food and are giving it a go! So if stores are
giving it a try, why won' t you? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

on to the steps!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">

#1: Meet is menacing. Just producing the meat takes up many resources and
eating it less will surely make a life a bit green. Say amybe one serving a
week?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Step
#2: Eat out. When you go out to eat, your supporting local chefs that cook with
Hawaiian-grown foods. Spread the aloha of being local, and eat out!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Step
#3: Farmers Market time! If you want some of the frreshest and locally grown
foods, go to one farmer market! Food there is basically straight from the farm
to you.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Step
#4: Look at labels. Ask owners where they get their produce from. Just because
something says that it's made n the U.S. doesn't mean it's grown here. For
example, just because a banana has a Dole sticker on it, doesn't mean that it
was grown here. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So
why don't you put this knowledge to some use, eh? Take some action and eat
local.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
As you guys all know, every month there is an IB-Attribute focus. So for the month of
March, the IB-attribute we are focusing on as a school is "Balanced". Wow! It is already March! The school year
is going by so fast! Well anyways, I just love that next months IB-Attribute is
"Balanced". The definition of the word balanced, is basically just how you
imagine it. Calm & cool, clear-headed, and motivated. For example, what is
one scenario where you need literal balance? Standing on one leg! Okay, step one
of standing on one leg; you need to be calm & cool. Because, if you are
standing on one leg all excited and hyper, who is going to fall? That's right.
You. Second step of standing on one leg, you need to have a clear-mind. Because if
you are thinking about random things while trying to balance, you will probably
get of balance and fall. Rather than someone who was focused on not falling and
had a clear mind. Now you have mastered the move on balancing on one leg. While
I was writing those steps, I was actually trying to balance on one leg while
thinking random thoughts. Now guess what? I fell each time!<br /><br />Now, for the
golden steps to being a balanced person:<br />1.) Care: Be kind to yourself, and
do the same to others.<br />2.)Reflective: Take time to look back in your good
past, and pull more of those good things in to your current life, so you can remember those great
memories. And take a look at the bad ones; reflect and learn from
them. Take a look, reflect, use them to make you a better person. Ask yourself questions like- Good memories? How will I try to be more balanced? What can I do differently next time?<br />3.)
Examine: "Examine" all the parts in your life that you would like to be more
balanced. Are you spending too much time playing video games, and not enough time on your academics? Too much time with your friends, and not enough time with your family? <br />4.) Prepare:
Get your insides ready. Get all those things that will stop you from not being a
balanced person, and prepare for it so you will have goals that help you
accomplish your goal on being balanced.<br />6.) Connect: Get your
main man / women in place. Your main supporters to help you through this journey of being
balanced. They could be your family members, teachers, or friends. <br /><br />Be balanced.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10747581494232247868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2250216291291361897.post-71412078087460560302013-03-08T15:04:00.000-08:002013-03-08T15:04:33.359-08:00Book Fair<br />

<br /><span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; color: #b45f06;"><strong>By: Taryn Kanai<br /><br />Have you heard about Pennies for Patients?
Well if you haven't then I will tell you, it is the fundraiser to raise money
for those who have leukemia (affects blood and bone marrow) and lymphoma (blood cancer that begins in lymphatic system). Thank you so much to all the people who donated. Even if you
just donated a penny you have helped to make a difference. I know that Pennies for
Patients will be so happy with all the money we raised. If you did not have an opportunity to donate last month, you can donate directly to this non profit organization. Check out the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society website.

Written by: Rhyanne Javier<br />
<br />
Guess what, HSA testing is coming up. Most students fear this because it is a test. We
all had our first try and now its time for our second try. Now this grade
matters the most! Tips for getting a good grade: you have to sleep early the day
before the test. Sleep for at least 10 hours. Study at least 10-20 minutes
everyday just to make you remember everything you learned in class so that it doesn't slip your
mind. Another tip is to have a well balanced breakfast
the day of the test (and everyday) so you can't have a BIG breakfast because you will be too stuffed, you have to
eat a just right breakfast. You should've skip breakfast because you need something
to fill your stomach to make you think. Try to practice these good
habits everyday and I am sure you will get the grade! This is all I have to say
and good luck! You can also use Teenbiz and IXL for help on studying for the big
test.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10747581494232247868noreply@blogger.com0
