"Wow, I didn't know learning could be so fun!", "I liked how we even learned about different languages", "This was the best day ever!"
These were some of the comments and feedback we had received from St. Anthony's 6th graders. On Tuesday, November 19, the 6th grade class of St.Anthony visited our our school. They wanted to satisfy their "wonder" in what our 8th graders were doing to impact our world. Excitement was in the air as the 25 students filled our music class. Introductions were made and I knew that there could be only two outcomes; first they would either be very excited and learn a great deal from us or the whole day would be awkward and they would not understand or point of revolutionizing education. As the day progressed and presentations were given, I started to notice the "Hokule'a bug" started to bite some of the students. When time ended and thank you statements were made, I saw and felt the spark of motivation in the eyes of students. I then realized again, I am the change!
