Field Trip to HTY: ICARUS

Hello fantastic people! How are you today? My day today is super fantastic! Well first of all, you are probably wondering who I am! Well today is your lucky day because I'm going to tell you! My name is Kiilehua but mostly everybody calls me Ki'i! My favorite color is teal! What is your name and your favorite color?

Well today I'm blogging about this fantastic place we went to for our 6th grade field trip. We went to HTY! Wait--you're probably wondering what HTY stands for. Well guess what? I'm going to tell you! H stands for Honolulu, T stands for theater, and Y stands for youth! We saw a play called......ICARUS! You are wondering what it was about and who Incarus is right? Well if you want to know, keep reading!

Well first of all, Icarus is a thirteen year old boy and he is Greek. He lives with his father who is an inventor for the king. Icarus' father also creates weapons, but not for the king because he is afraid that the king will use it against his people. The King is upset because he and his wife were expecting to have a baby boy but a girl was born.  He became so angry that he murdered the queen after she gave birth to the baby. So he talked to Icarus' dad to build a dungeon for his daughter. But for many years, the king had been lying to his daughter and told her that she was half bull! So for about two years, she had been locked up and told that she was a Minotaur! A Minotaur is a mythological creature with horns like a bull. Please keep reading there is more to the story!

So as soon as Icarus found out, he became so angry and he wanted to help. In the end, everyone was freed from the lies of the King.

This relates to an IB attitude. It is Tolerance. You need to be tolerant of everyone!

HEY! Guess what? I had an onolicious lunch! Onolicious means delicious in Hawaiian. I had a chicken and spam musubi. I also had chips and water. Since my mom was chaperoning I'll tell you what she had. She had a bowl of chow fun from Panda Express. We were so full from that onolicious food!

I felt very excited from the time my mom signed the field trip permission form because I love to go on field trips! I also felt very informed from the play because it taught us about the Greeks myths. I wouldn't mind going again! See you later! Bye!

Handy Pencil Case: Pen Pill!

Pen Pill!

Do you always lose certain kinds of school supplies? 

If you said yes, I think you deserve a Pen Pill! 

A Pen Pill is basically a PVC Pipe with two PVC caps on each end. It comes in different colors and designs. 

My teacher, Mrs. Matsuura, actually created this wonderful Pen Pill. I think this is called a Pen Pill because it is shaped as a Pill and you can put pens and pencils in there. Me, Josh, and Elisa have a Pen Pill. We all say that this is really helpful. We all keep our pens and pencils in here.

Mrs. Matsuura shows the IB Attitude CREATIVE. She shows this because she took a problem and solved it with Pen Pills. She was creative in creating this one of a kind product with different lengths and colors! Mostly, everyone in my class has a Pen Pill. I mean, WHO DOESNT HAVE ONE? So that's it for our blog folks! I hope you liked it!
