Huntley kindergarten 'travels' to Hawaii

The Farmside
Huntley kindergarten classes visit Hawaii! Don't panic though, this isn't anoth¬ er expose' about wasted tax dollars. It's a story about the fun of learning.
Two weeks ago the kinder¬ garten classes from Huntley Elementary School began a pretend journey to Hawaii. With the guidance of their teachers, Mrs. Henderson, Mrs. Kavanagh, Miss Korczyk, Mrs. McCormick and Miss Reuter, each class planned their trip. They fig¬ ured out what to pack for the trip  by  learning  what  the
weather is like in Hawaii in January. The entire class had tickets and took off on their plane trip across the United States and Pacific Ocean to beautiful Hawaii.
Throughout the two weeks the classes have been learning about many aspects of Hawaiian culture, food, land¬ scape and a variety of other related information. Speakers have come to the classes to talk to the students about some of their studies. On Jan. 27 & 28, Dr. Joanne Knapik, MD, a pediatrician at the Huntley Centegra office, came to speak to the enthusiastic classes about sunscreen pro¬ tection.
Other activities included watching movies about Hawaii, making volcanos and palm trees, having a beach party luau with authentic Hawaiian food, and sending home souvenir postcards to their families. And, of course, creating memories of their trip to the Islands.
Dr. Joanne Knapik, MD, pediatrician at Huntley Centegra office, demonstrates the areas that most need sun¬ screen on kindergartener Brittany Berger. Dr. BCnapik made her presentation to Huntley kidergarten classes as part of the class's pretend trip to Hawaii.
