Much can be learned from the writing of children. If kids write about how great their
teachers are, it's likely the school has great teachers. If the kids write about how fun it
is to always be outside, it's likely an environment where it is safe and enjoyable to be outside.
Here we have several children who have written about what they like about La'ie.
Nalani - Playing Outside
"I love to play outside with you.
You are nice and pretty."
Kahili - May Day
"We walked out of the tunnel. I wore a dress, a Moko, a sash, a necklace, and an earing. I liked when Mosula and Edyn took out the lei's. I liked when we sit down and watched the stick people. We did the Poi-balls too. I was excited when my family was there. I was happy when it was our turn. I was nervous about my family being there."
Kahili - On Laie Elementary School & Education
"What I liked about 1st grade is I like May Day. I like art it's fun. I like furlough friday because we don't go to school. What I like in 1st grade in p.e. is cow girls and indians. What I like about first grade is I like to write. I like 1st grade because I like the class store. Book fairs are fun in 1st grade. I like first grade because of the aquarium. I liked being super citizen in first grade. I like science too."
"Dear Miss Cambell,
You are a great teacher to me. I like all the things you teach me. I can be a smart kid."
"Dear Miss Cambell,
Thank you for making game day. I think it will be fun. We are the happiest class. I'm pretty happy
we are here. Thank you a lot."
Keonalani - On Moving Back to La'ie
"I love Laie because of the beautiful beaches, the forests, and all the animals! Most of all, the people that I know, my cousins, friends, neighbors, and much much more! I'm happy that I'm coming home, I will also miss some people here in Texas, but still I'm very happy because I'm coming home!"
Guinivere - On Moving Back to La'ie
"Aoha I am excited to go back to Laie because I get to see my cousin Tia and to play with Tia. I'm in 1st grade and lost two teeth and I'm 6 years old and I get to have a sleepover and to go the beach and wear flip flops and get to see who is in my new class and school. I love Laie because it is warm and I want to tell you that I'm having fun in Texas and I want to show you what I look like."
