Effective Communication
|
- I can share a short, clear reflection about what I observed from the Sun, wind, waves, clouds, and kūpuna stories when I am prompted by the teacher
- I can use a simple sentence or drawing to show one way these observations helped my group think about direction and intention.
|

- I can communicate my thinking in complete sentences and listen respectfully to others as we prepare to present our work.
|
- I can present a focused spoken reflection that connects our observations, the kūkuluokalani, and evidence from Earth’s systems to our voyage decisions
- I can clearly describe how my work, behavior, and teamwork show respect, responsibility, and readiness to lead.
|
- I can communicate a well-organized reflection that connects wayfinding, Earth and solar system patterns, Earth materials and systems, and responsible use of natural resources to our waʻa design and exhibition voyage
- I can explain my reasoning with specific evidence from our observations and kūpuna interviews, and I can present with confidence, empathy, and purpose to support our crew and guests.

|
Critical Thinking & Problem Solving
|
- I can notice a few important natural signs, like the Sun, wind, clouds, or waves, and use help to name a direction for my waʻa
- I can listen to kūpuna or my team and try one idea to solve a simple wayfinding or building problem.
|
- I can compare several natural clues and choose a direction that matches what I observe and what my team knows
- I can explain my thinking using evidence from the sky, ocean, Earth materials, or kūpuna stories, and I can improve my plan when I get feedback.
|
- I can use careful observation, evidence, and team discussion to solve wayfinding, design, or voyage challenges in more than one way
- I can connect stars, Earth’s motion, landforms, natural resources, and Earth systems to justify my choices and revise my waʻa or navigation plan with growing independence.
|
- I can independently synthesize observations, kūpuna knowledge, and scientific evidence to make and defend intentional wayfinding decisions for my team
- I can evaluate trade-offs, adapt to changing conditions, and lead our group in revising the waʻa, route, or role plan to support a safe and successful voyage.

Collaboration
|
- I can take part in a group by listening to my teammates, sharing my ideas about what we notice in the sky, wind, water, and land, and helping my crew stay focused on our shared task with teacher support.
|
- I can work with my crew to divide jobs, build on each other’s ideas, and use observations from the kūkuluokalani, natural materials, and kūpuna interviews to help us make decisions about our waʻa and voyage plan.
|
- I can collaborate with my crew to solve problems, revise our waʻa or navigation plan using evidence from our observations and tests, and share responsibility for making sure our team is ready to lead respectfully and safely.
|
- I can lead and support collaboration by helping my crew make shared decisions, respond to feedback, and combine kūpuna knowledge, natural resource choices, and scientific observations into a strong plan for building, testing, and guiding our waʻa.

Deeper Learning Competencies
|
Self Directed Learning
|
- I can use teacher check-ins, feedback, and my own observations to identify my next steps in learning about wayfinding
- I can name what I need help with and begin to adjust my work on the kūkuluokalani, interview notes, or waʻa design when I am reminded.
|
- I can set a goal for my learning and follow a simple plan to improve my observations, questions, or design choices over time
- I can use feedback from peers, kūpuna, or teachers to revise parts of my work and explain one way my learning is helping our team prepare for the voyage.
|
- I can monitor my progress and choose strategies that help me complete my tasks, such as organizing observations, revising my questions for kūpuna, or improving my waʻa trials
- I can use evidence from the Sun, stars, winds, Earth materials, and landforms to guide my work and explain how feedback changed my decisions.
|
- I can independently reflect on my learning, use evidence and feedback to revise my work, and make purposeful choices that strengthen our voyage plan, waʻa design, and leadership responsibilities
- I can explain how my growth shows readiness to lead, and how my actions honor kūpuna knowledge, our team goals, and responsible use of natural resources.

Content Expertise
|
- I can identify and use a few visible clues from the Sun, wind, clouds, waves, or landforms to help me describe direction in a wayfinding task with support
- I can share a simple connection between my observations and a choice I made while working with my team or building a model waʻa.
|
- I can explain how stars, Earth’s rotation, or local Earth materials and systems can help wayfinders make direction choices in our voyage project
- I can use evidence from my observations, my kūpuna interview, and our team work to describe how natural resources and place-based conditions shape navigation decisions.
|
- I can compare multiple sources of evidence—kilo observations, kūpuna knowledge, and data from our model waʻa trials—to explain why one navigation or design choice works better than another
- I can connect what I learn about the Sun, stars, Earth systems, and Earth’s history to improve our voyage plan and use natural resources responsibly.
|
- I can synthesize evidence from the kūkuluokalani, natural-material star compass, kūpuna interviews, and waʻa testing to make and justify clear wayfinding and design decisions independently and with my team
- I can explain how celestial patterns, Earth’s rotation, Earth materials and systems, and responsible use of natural resources work together to guide our exhibition voyage and show my readiness to lead with accuracy, care, and intention.
