My favorite dessert is Haupia. It is a traditional Hawaiian coconut dessert. Haupia is like a coconut pudding. It is delicious and very simple to make! You only need four ingredients and about two hours to let the haupia cool and set. It is easy to get coconut milk at Kaldi or any other grocery store! It is also vegetarian/vegan. Below is my favorite haupia recipe:
 
Haupia Recipe (makes about 16 pieces)
 
Ingredients and tools:

• A 20cm x 20cm pan
• Full fat coconut milk (about 400ml)
  • Usually 1 can or 2 boxes
• 5 tablespoons of cornstarch (Other starch is okay. My favorite is tapioca starch.)
• 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar (use coconut sugar if you are vegan)
• ¾ cup of water (about 180 ml)

 

Instructions:

1. Get your pan.
2. Heat your coconut milk in the pan over medium heat. Stir occasionally with a whisk.
3. While it is heating up, combine the sugar and cornstarch in a bowl, add water, and mix until it melts together.
4. When the coconut milk just starts simmering, add the cornstarch sugar mixture and whisk.
5. Keep whisking until the mixture becomes thick. It usually takes about 5-7 minutes. When you lift your whisk, the haupia should stick slightly then slip away.
6. Pour it into your pan and let it to cool on your counter for 30 minutes.
7. Put it in your fridge to set for about 2 hours or until it is completely cooled and set.

 
Enjoy!

Here's a short video showing you how to make a simple but cute origami ghost for Halloween.  Enjoy!

For Olympic-themed summer homework, in class we helped our student to research:

• a country,
• its flag,
• a popular sport from that country,
• a successful athlete from there,
• and how many medals that athlete - or country - won at the 2016 Rio Olympic games.

Our students' homework was to record themselves presenting their research at home. 

Please take a look at the video.  We think it is absolutely fantastic. We're so proud of everybody.

Our amazing junior students tell us all the reasons why they like summer (and some reasons why they don't like it so much!)

Thank you very much to our wonderful students for making the videos, and of course to their equally wonderful parents for shooting and uploading them.
