Elementary/Upper School Friendship Day
Elementary/Upper School Friendship Day
Elementary students were Upper School tag-alongs this month. At Hanalani Schools annual Friendship Day, students in 4th through 6th grade were paired up with a high school student, and become their friend for the day. As friends, the Elementary students accompanied the Upper School student to all their classes that day, experiencing high school first hand. Dr. Whites Physics class was one of the classes Elementary students experienced. Newtons first law of motion and the Atwood machine were the days topics. Both Elementary and Upper School students participated in experimentation, observation, and reporting. White said he felt it was a positive impact on the classroom in that it made the older students explain the basic concepts of science to an audience who may not have all of the pieces of understanding, which, after all, is a heartbeat of education. White also commented that it, added [the] excitement of learning in the process of figuring out the lab [project].
