"Aloha"
People in Hawaii say "Aloha!" when they meet someone new. Little Yoda is saying "Aloha" to Astronaut Snoopy who just joined him for today's post. Astronaut Snoopy was also a gift from Ms. Salmons to continue celebrating our theme of space exploration in the computer lab this year *huzzah!* Astronaut Snoopy traveled with our classes this year throughout the solar system, experiencing Digital Citizenship, Keyboarding, Word Processing, Coding, Spreadsheets, ST Math, Research, Multimedia Tools, and Distance Learning (Pluto!) It has been quite the experience!!

(Little Yoda is no doubt quite fascinated by Astronaut Snoopy's adventures, and I'm sure they will have a lot to talk about.)
Hawaiians also say "Aloha" when they are saying goodbye.
Today is an "A" day, so for the last time this school year we will say a special "Aloha" to the students in these classes:
Today is an "A" day, so for the last time this school year we will say a special "Aloha" to the students in these classes:
Ms. Wilcox 3rd grade,
Ms. Shaw's 5th grade,
Ms.Sicht's Kindergarten,
Ms. Snyder's 1st grade, and
Mr. Smith's 2nd grade!
Aloha
Aloha also means Peace, Love, and Compassion. They are guidelines of how to live. "A life of Aloha is one when the heart is so full it is overflowing with the ability to influence others around you with your spirit" according to the website Makana Charters and Tours.
I find that quite beautiful, and that is what I wish for you this summer: a heart so full of peace, love, and compassion that you change the hearts around you for the good.
I plan to continue using this blog to keep in touch this summer, so be sure to check in for Fun Fact Monday and Fun Fact Friday! If you want to email me, I am at LHostetler@cpsk12.org

For My 5th Graders: a personal note
It is so hard to say goodbye, so let's say "Aloha" instead! This Aloha means "I wish you well until we meet again." Please come back and visit Shepard school when you can! You are loved and always welcome here, even you go to another school for a while. You will find amazing friends and teachers at other schools, and you will love the worlds you discover. Just remember: Shepard was your first "school home", and we are always here supporting you. Always!
This is a song I learned when I was in school. It is an Irish blessing, and we sang it to all the classes who graduated and moved on to other schools and adventures. It was very special when students sang it for me when I left. I would like to share it with you. It comes with my love and my heart:
Aloha!

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
