This past Tuesday, we went out to Kualoa Ranch to take our chicks and their cousin (from room 7) to their new home.

They got to ride a nice tall and roomy box. 

Aunty Ku'ulei talked to us about what they do at Kualoa Ranch. 

Off to the chicks new home with Aunty Ku'ulei and Uncle Logan.

This is where our chicks will live until they get a little bigger.

After they get bigger, they will live in here.

We got to see some other animals. We had fun petting them and feeding them. And we also got to feed fish.

It turned out to be a nice day out on the windward side of the island. Thank you to all of the parents who joined us. We are looking forward to our last field trip in May. We hope you can join us.

We had some men visit us from the Honolulu Sheriff's Department today. 3 of them are current CUPS's fathers. One father has a child in our room (which we were surprised to see him) and the other two have children in other classrooms.

We learned what to do when we see a gun.

1. Stop!

2. Don't touch

3. Leave the area

4. Tell an adult.

We also learned that the sheriffs don't just use guns on their job, but some are apart of the canine unit.

Thank you to the father's and the rest of the men of the Honolulu Sheriff's Department for visiting us today.

This pass Tuesday, we went to the Honolulu Zoo. Thank you to the parents who joined us on our adventure. 

We got to walk around for a little while before we met our Zoo Teacher. We walked passed homes of the different monkeys lived. Some of us got to see the alligator hiding in the bushes. Saw the gharial (a type of crocodile) sitting in the water. And we got to see the new home for the elephants. We met our Zoo Teacher, Aunty Amanda at the giraffe statue. She took us to the Zoo Classroom. We listened to her and learned many different things about fossils and some other neat things. 

After we were done, we went to the Keiki Zoo to look at some different farm animals and pet some goats. We all wanted to bring a goat back to school with us for a new room 5 pet. 

When we were done, we found a nice shady area under the trees to eat our lunch. On the way out of the zoo, we got to see some of the tigers sleeping and roaming around it's cage.

Next week is going to be another busy week for room 5. On Monday morning, the entire school will be having a lion dance presentation. On Wednesday, there will be a cement pour for the new classrooms. On Thursday, room 5 will be having our Chinese New Year Potluck. And on Friday, it's parent/teacher conferences (NO CHILDREN).

Room 5 is starting to exercise with one of our moms. It was fun getting some of our energy out in the morning. We are looking forward to the next time we get to do this.

*Reminder: Pajama day this Friday (12/2) to kick off the holiday season. Please have your child wear their pajamas to school and send a pair of extra clothes for them to change in after. Thank you!

Thank you room 5's parents for joining us yesterday during chapel. We hope you enjoyed our singing as we enjoyed singing for you.
