Lesson suggestions are on the second slide; slides are designed to introduce a Hawaiian value or phrase along with a photo. The slide following the photo will include a brief reflection and question to use with the lesson suggestions. An important part of each lesson is to allow the “picture to speak a thousand words.” Spend time talking about what your students see in each photo before proceeding. The goal is to observe the Hawaiian value or phrase in action.

K-3 resources that can be used with PPIO cards
Here are some Hawaiian values and phrases which coincide with the #PonoPassItOn Reflection Cards. We have categorized some additional resources for your optional use as a “unit study.”

Stop and Hanu video: We suggest you start your day with deep “belly” breathing, which we term “Hanu (inhale) – Ha (exhale).” This helps us to calm down and focus, by oxygenating our blood. It is important to help them to understand deep “belly” breaths vs. shallow “chest” breaths. This can be done as often as needed throughout each day, since it helps alleviate stress and anxiety. 

Kuleana Song is a fun song, with motions created by students, that incorporates many of these values. This can be introduced at any point in your studies.
