At CKA, even cooking class is designed with intention!

This session was all about boats, so each Tasty Tuesday helped us explore life at sea: hardtack for long voyages, zucchini boats for boating vocabulary, sushi and food preservation, sailors’ grog and the importance of citrus in preventing scurvy, and “pieces of eight” sugar cookies to bring pirate history to life.

History, science, culture, and vocabulary—all served up in a hands-on (and tasty!) way. ⚓

Cooking with intention. Learning by design.

This summer session began with a question: how can we design, build, and improve a cardboard boat capable of carrying two people across an olympic size pool? 5 Weeks later the CKA kids got to enjoy the fruits of their labor by launching their boats and rowing them across that olympic size pool. It was a great way to spend the summer learning and having fun! Now we go on break to come back to school in September.

One week before our cardboard boat regatta so we HAD TO go kayaking! Next week they will have to row themselves in teams of two across an Olympic size pool. In preparation we went kayaking so they can get a feel for the process. Afterwards we had a picnic lunch at the beach and went snorkeling. Another amazing day for our conscious kids!

Week 2: cardboard boat prototype 2.... Measuring displacement and figuring out how best to position passengers of varying weights. Next week we'll commence building our actual boats!

"Measure twice, cut once." That's the mantra we instill in our young engineers. Building is a great hands on way to practice these math skills. Working towards an end goal is a great way to see WHY it's important to have those skills!

"It sank!" quickly became "Now we know what to fix!" 💡 Today our young engineers tested their first prototypes, explored displacement and buoyancy, and discovered that every failure is just another step toward a better design.

Today our children began building their first cardboard boat prototypes. Our driving question: How can we design, build, and improve a cardboard boat capable of carrying two people across an Olympic size pool?
They began with ideas they sketched and then started to build! Some boats stayed afloat. Some keeled over...and it was in our failures that we learned the MOST!
Tomorrow we'll further analyze what worked and what didn't so we can make improvements on our initial design!
PBL is where magic happens because we're not just building boats, we're building thinkers!

Happy 1st Day of the Summer Session ☀️ We had such an amazing first day! Everyone enjoyed all the interactive learning stations on the deck. The children started thinking of ideas on how to create their cardboard boats! 🛶

Bringing our team to a teacher's conference is invigorating and inspiring. We're learning every day how we can improve our teaching practices and use more resources to better reach our students! We're eagerly waiting for the start of the next session to put our newly aquired knowledge to work!
