For kids:
Alonso couldn’t wait for summer vacation to begin in December. He was ready to go back out on the water with his family to fish. He’d rather be on the ocean than in school any day. Plus, his abuelo was teaching him the ancient warrior skill of Waikitun. Alonso was excited to finish making his wayki and to learn how to use it. Although his family lived near a big city, it was important for Alonso and his siblings to learn about their cultural heritage. Alonso loved his abuelo and was really excited to practice fishing and waikitun with him. What Alonso didn’t expect was a surprise visitor who would change summer traditions forever. Are you ready to step out into the Chilean waters with Alonso, learn about his heritage, and discover your own?
For parents:
In this series of challenges, your child will embark on a journey to the southern hemisphere and study South American culture. They’ll learn about the ocean, fishing, and the fighting styles of Chilean warriors. In addition, they’ll research and discover facts about their own cultural heritage. The life skills discovered in this challenge include self-defense, cooking, fishing, and whittling. The academics discovered in this challenge include world cultures (social studies), seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres (science), the art of oral storytelling (language arts), and number sense (math).

What is a challenge quest? A challenge quest focuses on 21st century skills such as problem solving, collaboration, outside-the-box and critical thinking, and innovation. This set of activities introduces a problem or mystery in a story-like journal and allows free exploration to discover new knowledge and to use tools in a different / new way. Challenges integrate academics with a child’s natural curiosity and creativity while teaching life skills via our Maker Lab Studios. Learners have an intrinsic desire to learn new things and gain new skills because we focus on one’s personal best. We encourage trying. We establish that mistakes are okay and we can learn from them. Learners build, deepen, or cement understanding by making. We define the learning goals and provide structure, scaffolds, and support for learners in the Challenge Quest Journal. We provide a Challenge Kit and sometimes an alias that aligns with the story characters.
