Our time in Hawaii has come to a close and as a group, we have gained so much! Our last days were filled with observing in the schools and presenting to our peers what we were able to see! All of us had vastly different experiences and enjoyed sharing them with our classmates.
Aloha! It has been an eventful few days for the Hawaiian adventurers. We have been able to visit and tour several schools in the area, learning about their student population, curriculum, and various student opportunities. We are gearing up for our days observing in the numerous schools and learning first hand about their education structure!
We have safely arrived in Honolulu and are enjoying getting to know this new city! In the past few days we have learned to dance the hula, participated in a fish pond restoration project, visited the Hawaii state capital building, and toured the Iolani Palace.
It has been a busy few days for the group! We have learned about traditional Hawaiian education, presented our findings from the Hilo Boarding School archives, participated in a service project, and explored the town of Hilo. Tomorrow we will fly to Honolulu!
It has been an eventful few days for the group! We have traveled to Hawaii Volcano National Park and are now in Hilo for the next few days!
We have safely arrived in Hawaii!
