THE HI WAY - DIGITAL CLASSROOM

May 22, 2020

The Digital Classroom is going on break!
Mahalo for joining us in the Classroom for the last 8 weeks.

Our new digital Classroom is designed for keiki to colloborate and create with our resident artists. Make music, tell stories, dance – the possibilities are endless! Geared for Elementary aged keiki.

Story Play with Ms. Lily

Join Ms. Lily for storytelling and amazing action as we act out the fantastic, silly character, King Birtram from the land of Binn. We will tell the story, YOU will act it out, and WE WILL PLAY. “When he worked, he really worked, but when he played… he really PLAYED!”

The Classroom uses Zoom to connect with you.

Here are some tips for parents:

To get Zoom set up, we suggest that you sign-on about 10 minutes PRIOR to the event starting. When you are ready, simply click the link provided and then follow the prompts. Your computer or device should take you through the setup easily.

• Once you click the link, an automatic installation will start.

• You’ll either download the Zoom app if you are using a mobile device, or download the Zoom installer if you’re joining from a PC or Mac. It’s a super quick install and you should be up and running quickly, but still make sure to take care of this ahead of time.

• You can click the meeting invite ahead of time if you want to install everything beforehand.

• Your Classroom Instructor will open the “doors” 5 minutes before
the meeting starts.

Please email TheHIWay@HTYweb.org for the Zoom link and password before 9am on the day of the class.
