   Second grade teacher Mrs. Cyndi Booker supersized her annual spooky classroom set-up this year by moving it to cafeteria 2. Students at Kaegebein were invited to make a donation to the Kaegebein Relay For Life team and gain entrance to the Halloween inspired space. Upon entering the darkened room, decorations were everywhere and seven learning centers were scattered throughout. They included a listening center where Halloween books on tape were played, a bats activity center where videos and information on bats were shown. An ooze station was quite popular, as well as the pumpkin estimation station where you could guess the weight of pumpkins and how many candy corn were in a jar. The "spooky room" also featured a flashlight reading station, mummy parts touching station, identifying skeletal bones and spider web toss. Over $600 was raised through donations for the Kaegebein School relay team.

    Mrs. Eileen Mitchell's second grade class celebrated Hawaiian Week at Kaegebein Elementary School. The theme for this unit centered around a story from the children's literature book entitled "Luka's Quilt." In the story Luka and Tutu (grandmother in Hawaiian) set out to sew a traditional Hawaiian quilt. Woven throughout the story were other Hawaiian words and customs. The second graders were busy learning about foods, dance, and flowers native to Hawaii. The students made their own leis. To culminate the week long activities the second graders dressed in Hawaiian clothing. The children sampled many fruits native to the islands (pineapple, coconuts, kiwis and bananas). In addition they learned how to do the "Hula," a native Hawaiian dance. A good time was had by all.
