KAPLA and WOODEN GAME CONSTRUCTION!

From the Kapla website ~

"We have all played with building blocks, but the KAPLA plank, only one size, is the best adapted for building without gluing or fixing. Master of manners: master of self. Our society fails to recognise the importance of developing coordination simultaneously with intelligence to obtain balance and harmony of mind. By combining the skills of ingenuity and creativity, KAPLA increases children’s capacity to concentrate and develops their ability to adapt to an ever changing world. KAPLA is a delightful medium to introduce children to the world of artistic creativity. Through building, one builds character."

- Tom van der Bruggen, Inventor of KAPLA

 What is COOL SCHOOL?

While purposefully designed to be engaging and fun, the Education Soaring COOL SCHOOL Day Program should not be viewed primarily as day care. Rather, it is a unique opportunity for students to engage with like-minded peers socially and academically on days when their home schools are closed due to teacher work days, conference days or holidays.

A TYPICAL day usually includes ...

... Social interaction while engaged in activities such as chess, board games,and mind boggling puzzles.

... Construction using Lego, Zome, K'nex, Chaos Tower, Skyrail, and more.

... High-interest lessons on areas of focus.

... Guest speaker or guest instructor.

... Computer fun using relevant, approved programs and websites.

... Independent reading from our library that includes books like Calvin and Hobbes and Star Wars, and books on topics such as history, world records, animals, and how things work.
