First, a introduction-discusses the contents of the guide, the relations Hip of - the classroom teacher and the kupuna (ljawaiian-speaking elder); the identification and scheduling of Kupunas; and how to use the ide. The remainder of the guide is divided into two major sections. Each is preceded by an overview which outlines the subject areas into which Hawaiian Studies instruction is integrated; the emphases or major lesson topics taken up within each subject, area; the learning objectives addressed by the instructional activities; and a key to the unit's appendices, which provide cultural information to supplement the activities. The activities in Unit I focus on the "self" and the immediate environment. They are said to give children ___Dppor-tumit-ies to investigate and experience feelings and ideas and then to determine whether they are acceptable within classroom and home situations. The activities of Unit II involve the children in experiences dealing with the "'ohana" (family) by having them identify roles, functions, dependencies, rights, responsibilities, occupations, and other cultural characteristics of the 'ohana. Two general appendices include a basic Hawaiian vocabulary list, and a selection of maps.

Unit I: The Self Unit II: Ka 'ohana Vocabulary Lists: Other Comments: b FOREWORD The Department of Education is pleased to present this Hawaiian Studies Curriculum Guide, Grades K-1 to teachers, kupuna 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 Hawaiian 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 desires to integrate study about Hawai'i into our various subject areas at all levels of the curri- culum. In the lower elementary grades, for which this guide begins the cycle, teachers and Ki.ip211 are to provide our students with educational experiences and activities which help them to understand the self and the 'ohana (family) 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 these grades along with the objectives of the Department's program for Early Provision for School Success (EPSS). This present guide includes. certain revisions of the draft guide for grades K-3 which appeared in September 1981. Work with new objectives in Primary Education Curriculum over the past two years has resulted in a restructuring of much of the material in the original draft document and the addition of much new material designed to integrate the focus of study on the self and the family into a contemporary context applicable to all of our students in the public elementary schools. Many of the activities contained herein are designed for collaborative 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 cultural 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 oneself and the 'ohana, dance and other move- ment 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 kiipuna should be aware that this guide was designed with them in mind also since many of the Hawaiian studies activities can easily be presented by our professionals using the detailed lesson plans and supplementary materials contained in the guide. The Department wishes to assure teachers, Idipuna and the community that every effort is being made to fulfill and support the mandate of the Constitution as it relates to a Hawaiian education program. This document is just a part of that effort. Training in the use of this guide and in the collaborative relationship between teacher and kupuna is available from district and state staff upon request and at certain lanned intervals dur,ing the year. tj; Donnis H. 'Thompson Superintendent of Education 0 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Department of Education is pleased to acknowledge the kOkua of a number of people, agencies and institutions who contributed to the development and final realization of this Hawaiian Studies Curriculum Guide, Grades K-1.
