What’s Happening
From September’s opening day to June’s closing ceremonies, we document and share events from all over our campus in an attempt to continuously communicate all the diverse goings-on at The Unquowa School. From school-wide events, assemblies, visiting presenters and other highlights from around campus, here’s a sample of what’s happening…

5th Grade Writers Rock!
Posted by Eric Snow
Each year, the fifth grade class receives a unique opportunity: a class entirely dedicated to practicing and perfecting their writing! Whether students enter the grade excited to write, or nervous about their abilities, Writing class is always a fun, exploratory, and engaging class that meets students where they are and takes them to new heights.
This year, we have added a new benefit for the 5th Grade Writing class: a dedicated Writing Room! In the Writing Room, students have incredible views to inspire their work, loads of natural light, and a space that showcases their hard work.
So far, students have already published two pieces – a narrative story of their choosing, and a scary story (inspired by writing tips from the scare master himself, R. L. Stine)! Each time we publish, we read aloud our stories together, give a HUGE round of applause for the brave and unafraid spirits we see in our classmates, and proudly display our work for the Upper School to see.
It is GREAT being in fifth grade at Unquowa. We rock!
Yoshi
Posted by abbycerone
The fourth graders had a blast playing a fan favorite game, “Yoshi” in PE this week. This game requires teamwork, cooperation and strategy. It is so amazing to see how many students are willing to give up their spot on the island so that they can save another person. We look forward to our upcoming project adventure unit, a unit based solely on teamwork and cooperation! Way to go fourth grade!

All You Need is Love

With Thanksgiving coming up, PreK has been cultivating our spirit of gratitude. We have been studying Native American cultures and folktales and the concept of giving thanks is deeply embedded into these teachings. Native peoples gave thanks to the earth and the animals. Our class will be showing gratitude to the earth by putting the garden to bed. We are creating our own gratitude boxes to collect things that bring us joy and make our hearts full. To honor World Kindness Day we made thank you hearts for all our teachers and staff and our them on the cars in the parking lot. The kids were so enthusiastic about this activity that we had to rush inside and make more to be sure every car got a note! While we were outside performing our act of gratitude, Mother Nature gave us a gift- a pile of leaves just made for jumping for joy!
