Shane’s Uncle Bob is an educator in Nebraska and he connected us with three second-grade classrooms at Linden Elementary School. Flat Stanley is a well-established school project that helps the children around the world learn about literacy and other places and connect with people far beyond their local neighborhoods. These Flat Stanley’s traveled all around the island of Oʻahu and are going home with aloha shirts, leis, and surfboards, thanks to help from our friends Kaile, Stacey, and Eric.
Hawaiian Word:
Keiki: child, children

Looking forward to the next installment.
Uncle Bob
What a fun project! Thanks for putting out an information-packed video – even with the “proper” pronounciation of Hawaii. ๐
Hope to see more from you soon.
FYI for other Beach Walks viewers: UB is my Uncle Bob, my Dad’s youngest brother. He has been a wonderful and enthusiastic Beach Walks supporter and both Rox and I very much appreciate his consistently positive energy and support.
He sent me an email earlier today and told me the kids were actually dancing in the classrooms to JRoQ’s music we selected for this episode. We thought her song, “World Traveler” was a perfect fit. ๐
UB is Principal of Linden Elementary and this episode is now embedded on the Fremont NE Public School’s web site home page: http://www.fpsweb.org/
Aloha Nui UB and to all the Keiki at Linden!
I agree, JRoQ’s music really enhanced the coolness factor and energy of this piece. Now we’ll have a new generation of JRoQ-ers grooving to the beat across the Heartland!!
Having actually seen the flat Stanley project before, it’s a delight t see that some Stanleys have made it to Hawai’i!
Beachwalks should start a flat-conch project! Viewers could sign the back and it could go all around the world!
@byteful – Great idea. Perhaps we could instead find a plastic conch and send it off and people could take pics and video of where the conch travels to and post it on The Reef?
Just an FYI: The Stanleys made it back to Nebraska in great shape! They thank you for the time they got to spend in paradise!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Rox!
@Shane You just took my idea and injected it with 100cc’s of awesome. Get to it! ๐
