In Unit II, the activities center on factors involved in community living,. The children are asked to study natural resources, their availability and importance in the life of the community, and people's influence on the use and management of natural resources in the community.

Unit I: 'Ohana in the Community Unit II: Community Environment and Lifestyle Vocabulary Lists: ,, . Other Comments: 7 b s FOREWORD The Department of Education is pleased to present this Hawaiian Studies Curriculum Guide, Grade 2 to teachers, 14una and other interested parties who are working toward fulfilling the mandate of the State Constitution that a Hawaiian education program be established within the Department which provides for the study of 114waiian culture, history and language. 'Whereas the fourth grade has long been the level at which study of the indigenous Hawaiian culture was carried out, the Department wishes to integrate study about_Hawai'i into our various subject areas at all levels of the curriculum. In the lower elementary grades, teachers and kupuna are to provide our students with educational experiences and activi- ties which help them _to understand the self, the 'ohana (family) and the community within our contemporary Hawaiian environment. The educational activities incorporated in this guide were developed in accordance with the objectives of the Hawaiian Studies Program Guide for this grade. This guide includes certain revisions of the draft guide for grades K-3 which appeared in September 1981. That draft guide is now considered inappropriate and should not be used since work with new objectives in Primary Education Curricul over the past several years has resulted in a restruct- uring of much of the material in the original draft document a d the addition of much new material designed to integrate the focus of study of the family and its place within the commu ty into a contemporary context applicable to all of our students in the public elementary schools. Many of the activities contained herein are designed for collaboratj e use by regular classroom teachers and our beloved kupuna,. These may deal with aspects of study concerning the Hawaiian language, stories or tales about people or events related to the students' immediate locale and environment, the use of Hawaiian cultur0 skills still practiced by members of our-Hawaiian and general communities such as gathering limu or preparing various 'local foods, the singing of Hawaiian and hapa-Haole songs relating to the 'ohana and the communities of Hawai'i, dance and other movement related to our Hawaiian environment and other physical and intellectual activities integrating Hawaiian studies into the regular lower elementary curriculum. Teachers who do not: currently enjoy the regular services of kupuna should be aware that this guide was designed with them in mind also since Most of the Hawaiian studies activities can easily be presented by our professionals using the detailed lesson plans and supplementary materials contained in the guide. Training in the use of this guide and in the collaborative relations,hip between teacher and kupuna_ is available from district and state staff upon
