What an awesome day! The kids enjoyed getting dirty and helping out. We were finally able to put in our first row of taro in our taro patch. Here is a slideshow of our First Taro Planting!
A special thanks goes out to Mr. Justin from Leeward Community College and Mrs. Sasaki for leading the way and educating the sixth graders and KIC members about the different types of taro and the methods ancient Hawaiians used. The kids were able to ask questions and gain understanding about living a sustainable life. At the end of the planting project, Mrs. Sasaki provided students with a cup of poi from the same type of taro the students planted (moi).
Mahalo!
Ms. Coffin
