Unit I: Unfit Unit IV: UnitVa: b v Unit VI: Unit VII: Unit VIII: Unit IX: Vocabulary Lists: Other comments: I FOREWORD This Hawaiian Studies Curriculum e, Grade 4 is the companion document to the social 'studies guide, Early Hawaiian Life, produced by th ice of Instructional Services in August 1981. This guide includes the rather program areas into which Hawaiian studies content has been integrated. They are science, language arts, music, health4,food and nutrition, art, games and recreation along with mathematics inone of the units. 1 Grade 4 has long been the grade level at which Hawaiian history, values, iltural practices,songs, dances and language have been taught to a certain extent in the public elementary schools.The Hawaiian Studies curriculum is designed to broaden that traditional course of study by providing specific learner objectives to be addressed during the year's instruction, detailed instructional activities integrated into the-various subject areas and a great amount of teacher and student reference materials,games, worksheets, songs, O stories and:visual aids included as appendices to each unit. This latter is done in recognition that today's teachers are responsible for teaching a tremendous amount of knowledge, concepts, values, skills andbehaviors with precious little time and energy available for doing the research needed to find the kindsof materials available at their fingertips in this guide. As with any other State in the Union, the State of Hawai'i has mandated that the history and culture, including language, of our state be studied. In kindergarten through third grade, students are to study aboutour island state in relation to the Hawaiian and other ethnic cultures which blend to formour viable, unique local lifestyle. By the time the students reach the foulh grade, their intellectual maturity and developedsense of chronology permit them to study and understand various aspects Of the culture of the original settlers of this iiina (land). Teachers are encouraged to collaborate with their assigned kiipunaL(Hawaiian speaking elders) tocreate an 'ohana (family) environment in the classroom where the affective concepts detailed inthis guide are used to heighTiii- feelings of self worth and interpersonal esteem. As the students progress in this very important stage of their Hawaiian studies instruction, we hope thatyour students will acquire not only cognitive knowlege of pre-contact Hawaii but, more importantly, a good attitude about learning which will motivate them to strive,for kdowledge and give
