and to document all the truly wonderful things that are going on in our
program right now.
First, the trips and outings and the subsequent blogging by students on
the http://portfolio.hawaiitokai.edu/trips/weblog/ is exceptional. If
anyone has not seen this blog yet, log in and check it out. I loved
reading the students entries about Chinatown, Manoa Falls, Punahou
Carnival, Dole Plantation, Leonard's, China Wall's, and the like. Thanks
to everyone for the time put in.
I also want to thank those involved in the language exchanges we have
going. In cooperation with the IP Department, Iolani High School, and
most recently HPU, we are already responding to our program review and
giving students what they asked for, more real opportunities to speak
English. Thanks again to everyone coordinating and in some cases giving
up weekend time.
And there is more to come, I cannot wait for the program wide Vocabulary
Bee about to take place, and we are in the process of putting video
presentations into the students portfolios and broadcasting live as well.
Hopefully we have a good showing on the TOEFL too.
If I left anything out, feel free to respond and let us know other what
other events and general good stuff is taking place.
I do not know how everyone manages to pack so much in to 10 weeks but I
feel really fortunate to work with such a supportive, creative,
professional, high-energy team. All the stuff you are doing does not go
unnoticed.
