For a young child, learning to write his or her name is an important skill and a major milestone. It means your child can identify his or her ownership of his creations, from a completed craft project to a favorite t-shirt.
Dinosaurs!!!!
Dinosaurs may be extinct from the face of the planet,
but they are alive and well in our imaginations.
Benefits of Gardening for your Child
When caring for a garden children will not only learn the process of growing a flower, fruit or vegetable, they will get to experience the process using multiple senses. These experiences, along with hard work, encourages kids to respect their environment and learn how things within the environment work together.
Children are more likely to enjoy healthier foods if they grow them themselves. By planting and maintaining a fruit and vegetable garden with your child, he/she will feel a sense of accomplishment when there are results and be more likely to explore different tastes out of curiosity.
Other ways kids benefit from gardening:
-Teaches kids respect for other living things.
-Requires a commitment toward something positive.
-Teaches cause and effect.
-Gets kids outside.
-Allows and encourages children to explore.
-Enhances fine motor skills.
-Forms early responsibility.
-Gardening teaches children to love nature and to care for our Earth.

Having a Blast!!
To say Keala enjoyed her first day at Ka Hana Pono wouldn't be enough...she truly had a BLAST :) :) :) ...perhaps it is because she is the third sibling to attend Ka Hana Pono! We were lucky enough to have spent time with big sis Leihiwa and big bro Mala'e as well!! :) :) :)
B IS FOR BLUE...
This week being all about the letter "B" it made sense that todays art projects were all about the color Blue!! :) :)
Tomorrow, Thursday 9/11 & Friday 9/12 is BLUE DAY.... please send your little one to Ka Hana Pono wearing something blue if he/she attends either or both of these days. Your little one has a note in his/her back pack for you. XOXOXOXO
