Kahua Standards and Benchmarks
PK-12 essential standards and benchmarks for Hawaiian-focused education.
Grade 3 - ʻŌlelo / LA
In addition to HFCS ‘Āina-based Learning Competencies (click to view), the PK-12 ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi Language Arts (ʻŌH/LA) kahua is grounded in the belief that the purpose of reading and writing is constructing meaning. Reading allows the reader to construct meaning based on the writing by an author and writing allows the writer to construct meaning to convey to a reader. The ʻŌH/LA strands were derived from this understanding and include:
- OLA.3.1Kāwili pū ʻia ka ʻike ʻāina, ka ʻike ʻohana, a me ka ʻike moʻokūʻauhau. Weave together ʻāina, ʻohana, and cultural components of moʻokūʻauhau (i.e. ʻohana genealogy, waʻa genealogy, Kumulipo, history, moʻolelo wahi pana)
- OLA.3.2Hoʻoikaika ʻia ka pilina ʻāina ma kekahi o nā hōʻike Hawaiʻi (oli, mele, hula kaulana mahina, hoʻokele). Interact with ‘āina by using ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi performance cartographies (i.e. oli, mele, hula, kaulana mahina, hoʻokele) and develop a stronger relationship with ʻāina.
- OLA.3.3ʻIke ʻia ka pilina ma waena o nā hana Hawaiʻi, nā pono hana, a me ka waiwai Hawaiʻi nō hoʻi (e laʻa me ka Piko, ka pū, a me ka hōʻihi). Understand the function and relationship between cultural protocols, cultural artifacts, and value (i.e piko/pū/reverence).
- OLA.3.4Maopopo ko kākou kuleana ma ke kaiāulu, ma ka ʻāina, nā waiwai o ka ʻāina (mai uka a i kai), a me ka pili o ia mau mea i ke ola pono o kānaka. Know our place in the community, ʻāina, its resources (mauna, awāwa, wai, kai, one, wao) and the relationship with well-being.
- OLA.3.5ʻIke ʻia ka pili ma waena o ka moʻokūʻauhau, ke kamaʻāina i ka ʻāina, a me ka mālama ʻana i ka ʻāina. Understand the connection between moʻokūʻauhau, knowing deeply about a place, and fulfilling the ʻauamo to care for that place.
- OLA.3.6Me ka nānā ʻana i ke analoi, i ka manaʻo o ke kumu, a me kona ʻike ponoʻī hoʻi e paka ai ka haumāna i kāna lawena a me kāna hana no ka hoʻokāʻoi ʻana aʻe. Reflect on the quality of own work and behavior using a rubric, directions, and student’s own insights in order to improve.
