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…
Sports in the Spanish Culture!
Posted by Diane Nietupski
Our fifth grade Spanish students are learning about the importance of sport, in the Spanish culture. Students are researching both the histories of sports as well as famous players. In today’s class students were excited to present projects on the popularity of futbol, or soccer, in Spain, its history, fun facts, as well as a very famous Spanish soccer player named Andres Iniesta.

Four square tag…ultimate bean bag toe touch…pinball 8…Can you invent a game that has never existed? “Fun Friday” in PE class becomes a time for students to showcase their talent with creating a variation of a beloved game or an entirely new activity itself! They try it out and if it works, students at every level of the school benefit by enjoying all sorts of new Gator-inspired games!
Travel to The Southeast
Posted by Karen Engelke
Grade 4 has been learning about the different regions of the U.S.A. as part of their Social Studies curriculum. Currently, they are traveling through the Southeast. As part of their culminating project, they were tasked with being Travel Agents. They had to choose a destination within the Southeast and create a travel brochure highlighting details that would intrigue tourists and make them want to visit the area. Their brochures were packed with detailed information on the historical background, landmarks, climate, fauna, flora, and much more. They had a great time presenting them to their peers.

First Grade Rocks!
Posted by Maureen Diallo
As part of our month-long study on rocks and minerals, the first-grade scientists observed and compared two types of igneous rocks: granite and pumice. They learned about extrusive versus intrusive igneous rocks and recorded observations that focused on color, texture, luster, and weight. They also tested the rocks to see if they would sink or float and found out that pumice is a rock that can float! Amazing!
