Moʻolelo Monday
On the first Monday of the month a traditional or modern moʻolelo depicting the culture, values, language or traditions of Hawaiʻi, will be shared through a virtual platform. These mo‘olelo promote literacy within the classroom and home, and encourage ʻohana to read and learn together. Moʻolelo are shared by staff and guest storytellers.
MOʻOKALALEO
In the 1820’s, Kauikeaouli, Kamehameha III was the catalyst for the rise of literacy in Hawaiʻi. He stated, “ ʻO Koʻu Aupuni, he Aupuni palapala koʻu. My kingdom shall be a kingdom of literacy”. Within our moʻokalaleo, we share a literacy component that extends our moʻolelo journey.
MOʻO ʻŌLELO
Weekly, a Mo‘o ‘Ōlelo, a succession of Hawaiian words or phrases will be shared. The mana‘o behind each word or phrase relates to the mo‘olelo being presented. This component will enhance cultural awareness and knowledge through Hawaiian language.
ʻŌlelo Noeʻau # 1891 Nuʻuanu draws her shoulders up in the wind. Said of a show-off.
Meaning chicken skin or goose bumps. Ke ʻike ʻo Kahawali he Pele ʻo ia, ua piʻi ka manene! At the moment Kahawali knew that she was Pele, he shuddered with fear (he got chicken skin)!
Intonation will determine whether it is a question or statement.
