Today started with a Hawaiian Blessing and an explanation of Hawaiin culture. It is always interesting to learn about different customs and beliefs.
The main topic today was how to teach about Pearl Harbor? Daniel Martinez, Historian and Ranger at National Park Service, taught us about the Japanese attack using a large floor maps and model airplanes. It was a great technique to teaching the air strategies used and why it was so successful.
We also had a discussion about movies on Pearl Harbor. I found out the popular "Pearl Harbor" movie is very inaccurate and is not a good teaching resource. Great love story though!
The workshop ended with a pizza party and chance to get to know other teachers. I always enjoy talking with teachers from other states. We usually find many similarities with out teaching assignments and students.
In the evening a group of us walked around Waikiki beach. The sunset was incredible and the water very warm. Unfortunately there will be no time this week to sit on the beach in the sun. :(

I would like to go to pearl harbor and learn more about to no what real happen
I wish i could visit Pearl Harbor and learn everything there is to know about what happened. I have heard so many different stories bout what happened. i would also find it hard to relax on the beach when i kno that a very bad deed has occured there.
Going to Hawaii and learn more about Pearl Harbor would be so great. It sounds like you had a lot of fun and learned a lot. If I get to go to Pearl Harbor I would like to learn about the memorial and other details.
I think that going to Hawaii to learn more about Pearl Harbor would be a great experience.
Honolulu on the island of Oahu is beautiful and amazing how peaceful in a crowded city. Visiting the memorials was a great experience. Too many people travel to HI for the sun and beaches, but forget about the important events that occured which shaped our nation. Save your money, make a plan, and go visit the sun, beaches, and memorials.
