It was a bit noisy this past week with work being done on the metal pan decks on the roof. The sound of pounding and sawing were somewhat distracting, but the work was necessary. The recent bad weather delayed the project a bit, so workers were trying to catch up. Now that the metal pan decks are just about done, the noise should decrease.
This week, some new furniture arrived for the learning hub. These are funky-shaped tables that can be configured in different ways depending on the activity and the number of students in the group. Students can use dry erase markers on the table tops to sketch out ideas, practice their skills, or to outline their ideas. I think we'll find many more uses for those tables!
On Thursday, about a dozen retired Hale Kula staff came on a tour of the school. One of them had seen the blog about the opening of the classroom building and asked if a group could come to visit. It was wonderful to see them; some went on to become administrators and others stayed in the classroom and retired after many years of service. I understand there is a group of retirees from our school who gets together regularly to have lunch and enjoy each other's company. I think that demonstrates the feeling at our school where everyone is part of our Hale Kula `ohana. It was great seeing all of them!
