Montessori Community School's Acceptance Examinations

We moved to Hawaii from the Bay Area last May and have two children, our oldest is now 3.5 years old and our youngest is 1.5 years old.
I was interested in Montessori education before my children were born, and while researching, I heard that
Montessori Community School in the Makiki area is a wonderful school. I saw that over 95% of the students go to Iolani or Punahou each year
through the Feeding School to Iolani or Punahou schools.
I know that it is very difficult to get into Montessori Community School as there are several topics on this site.
I would like to enroll my oldest son from Kinder and my youngest son from Pre, what should I do to prepare for the entrance exam?
We would like to know what kind of education and preparation you have done for your son who is currently attending the school.
We have contacted the school and are afraid that the admission rate is quite high.

My two sons will be living in Hawaii for at least 10 years, so I am hoping that they will be able to attend Iolani School or Punahou School in the future
We are hoping to attend Montessori Community School. I heard that another school, Hana Hau'oli, is also a feeding school, but
I heard that you have to have some kind of connection such as family connection or working to get in, but I have given up because I have no connections in Hawaii.
I would appreciate any information you can give me if you have taken the test for Puri or Kinder.

Riding in a cab with a 3-year-old

I'm not going to use a baby carrier since he/she is 3 years old, but of course he/she is still too small to use a seatbelt for an adult by himself/herself. I read that if you share the seatbelt at the chest, if there is an accident, the child will cough in front of you and get caught between you and your cushion. Would you make sure to only share the belt at the waist ? I understand that it is not at all safe for me to just hold the child with my normal seatbelt on. Also, I would like to know how to turn my face.

I often go back and forth between Hawaii and Japan, but I think Hawaii is better.
In Japan, many fun places are going out of business, and only boring and characterless shopping malls are being built, but in Hawaii, fun places are increasing.
Perhaps due to inbound tourism, security has deteriorated and hospitality has disappeared.
On the contrary, I think there are many kind people in Hawaii. They say prices are high, but it is not true if you go to cheap supermarkets.
I used to be a Japan person, but now I definitely feel more comfortable living in Hawaii.
Looking at the current situation.

Those of you who have crossed the ocean to come here to Los Angeles and Japan
are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.

If you have anything to say or questions, please feel free to write.
I'll try to write "something" as well.

Example :
What means do you use to call when you return to Japan?

Which seat on the plane do you prefer, Aisle or Window, front, back,

Which airline do you think has the best food?

Which mode of transportation do you use to get to the local area?

and so on and so on

If it's a hijacking case, it's interesting to see the drama of the situation on the plane.

> The 88 temples are places of initiation, training, bodhisattva practice, and nirvana


You have studied them well.

The word for "emanation" is pronounced "hoshin".

Next spring's third round of the third breakthrough will also be a walk in the Tosa-do "Shugyo" dojo.

We will walk to Chikurinji Temple (#31), Zenjimineji Temple (#32), Sekeiji Temple (#33), Tanema Temple (#34), Kiyotaki Temple (#35), Seiryuji Temple (#36), Daizenji Temple (#5), Iwamotoji Temple (#37) and Kongofukuji Temple (#38).

Seiryu-ji Temple, No. 35, is said to be the temple where the famous yokozuna Asashoryu practiced asceticism during his days at Meitoku Gijuku High School by repeatedly walking up and down the steep and long stairs between the main hall and the Daishi Hall of the nearby Seiryu-ji Temple. He then named the temple Asa Seiryu after the temple.

It is 85 km on foot from No.37 Iwamoto-dera Temple to No.38 Kongofuku-dera Temple, which is a three-day and two-night trip.

Let's move on to the next step, feeling like we've done it...
Then,
I will devote myself daily to attain the Gobutsu teaching, and
I will no longer be on a strict training path, and
I will be out of the Gobutsu path, playing around here and there in the mood to go on pilgrimages and see things.

Can I bring a guitar on an ANA or JAL flight to Japan without extra charge ?
I have seen people bring in something like a violin once, but I was wondering about a guitar.

Nice to meet you. I have obtained a green card and am preparing to move to Hawaii with my 11 and 13 year olds.
I would like to enroll my younger son in Waikiki Elementary. My older son will be in eighth grade this year and I would like to send him to Hawaii first.
Therefore, if you have any recommendations for a middle school that accepts 13 year olds who are beginners in English, I would appreciate it if you could give me some information.
We are thinking of doing a homestay, but would appreciate any advice or information anyone can give us based on their experience.
Thank you very much.

I made a Central Pacific Bank VISA card
and used it as my main card for 6 months.
One day, I checked my card information online and it says
"You have accumulated 23,612 points"

I ~ shudder to think that the nightmare will resume. In short, this country is for white people by white people. I'm going back to Japan before I get killed too soon. I expect nothing more from America.

It was a long time ago, around 1930, I was running a flower shop in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. Three years later, for some reason or other, they returned to Japan, but when the three of them were still alive, ( I found information and books of the flower shop in my childhood ) and the address.
It was a pre-war address, "332 E. first street, Los Angeles Calif.
However, since it is an old address, I can only find "maybe here ?". Because when I did a GOOGLE search, it was in front of the Sakura Hotel.
The address of the flower shop was "under Ohayo Hotel" from there.
I am having a hard time finding out where the Ohayo Hotel was located and if it was possibly the predecessor of the Sakura Hotel.
I am planning to visit Los Angeles in the near future to see my grandmother's roots, which were Japanese-American. ( I'm not sure if it's inside Skid Row, but )

Perhaps there is a 90+ year old person who has lived in Little Tokyo since childhood, and if memory serves, there may be a chance.
If anyone has any information, please let us know.
By the way, the name of the flower shop my grandfather owned at that time was Tei ( MIKADO )
