Grade 5 Theater Corps
Posted by Sarah Raggio
One of our final activities centered around our last book choice, My Brother Sam Is Dead, was a “Write and Perform Task” demonstrating one of the many conflicts that arose within the text. The students were asked to discuss the conflict, choose their characters, write a script to explain the conflict and perform it the following day. In true 5th Grade style, they independently kicked it up a notch and decided to make props. Equipped with only their imaginations, tape, a stapler, some paper and about 10 minutes, they quickly had props to use and share. They constructed campfires, hats, belts, books, muskets and bayonets and because only one group was performing at a time, they shared their creations with the other groups. With a few makeshift costumes from various closets in my house, the performances were a big hit! Way to be creative Grade 5!

The Spring Instrumental Concert was a huge success! The 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade showed their talent and versatility performing on ukulele, guitar, bass, keyboard and percussion. The Upper School African Drum Ensemble was amazing! Thanks to all who attended.
Readers Theatre!

Second grade is taking advantage of our outdoor stage to perform some readers theatre! We have been working on how to create or characters, stage directions, vocal projection, diction, and how to read from a script! Second graders have been having a blast working on a short play called Slumber Party in the Woods!
6th Grade Fashion Show!
Posted by Joey CaseySpring has sprung and with the change of season, 6th grade thought it would be a helpful idea to have a dress code fashion show. Students reviewed the dress code during advisory and began planning the presentation. The entire class organized all aspects of the show- garments, models, and even presenters. Mr. Mitchell came to the rescue with his runway ready soundtrack. When the day came, everyone strutted their stuff and showed off their most dress code-esque looks. We hope that this fun presentation is a helpful reminder for all students about what to wear at school!
Lion King Kids!
Posted by Megan KirkI could not be more proud of the 4th and 5th grade voice and drama students! When both of these classes expressed great interest in musicals, we started looking and reading from some short versions of Broadway plays written specifically for younger performers in mind. The students fell in love with the show Lion King. They knew it would take extremely hard work and dedication to pull off this show! And they delivered! Bravo!!
Grandparents and Special Friend’s Day Concert!
Posted by Megan KirkAll of the students at the Unquowa School had an amazing morning showing off their many talents to our audience of family and friends! This year the theme of our concert was Broadway! Each grade chose a fantastic Broadway piece to perform. From our youngest students, to our 8th graders about to graduate, everyone did a wonderful job! Bravo to all!
