🌟 Our Helman-Osborn (5th-8th) friends had an unforgettable visit to Steve Tobin’s studio in Quakertown! After researching his work, they got to see pieces like Bronze Roots, Squeezes, and Exploded Earth up close and hear his incredible stories. Steve, a former UFS parent, even did some demonstrations, bringing his creative process to life! Our first response to his amazing art was a collective “WOW.” Experiencing his work in real-time was truly inspiring—what an amazing opportunity to learn from a world-renowned artist! 🎨✨

🌱🌼 Spring is right around the corner! 🌸🌱

Last week, the Penn class spent the afternoon in our UFS garden clearing the evergreen branches from the planters, cleaning the garden, prepping the beds by making sure they have plenty of leaves as coverage, and learning more about the compost areas. Over the weekend, the Garden Committee met at school to install designated composting areas using pallets. Signs marking each area will be coming soon. We already saw strawberry plants and lettuce starting to grow! All of our classes will be planting and working in the garden soon! 🍓🥬✨

🧫🌱🔬Our Helman-Osborn (5th-8th) students explored the structures of plant and animal cells and their differences. We examined the individual parts (organelles) and their function in the cell and then built models of cells to help us visualize the structures. Check out these ex-cell-ent models! 🤩

Today we were lucky enough to welcome AJ and Jerry from The Didge Project to teach us all about didgeridoos! Did you know the didgeridoo is thought to be the first instrument recorded in historic art? Our friends learned how didgeridoos are made, how different sounds are created, listened to AJ and Jerry play many songs, and joined them for an Australian animal song and dance! This was such a wonderful experience, thank you so much AJ and Jerry! 🎶 #quakersofinstagram #quakerschools #expirentiallearning #didgeridoo #didgeridoomusic #didgeridooplayer

✨ Exploring the Wonders of the Human Body! 🩺🧠🩻

Last night’s Project-Based Learning Curriculum Night was a celebration of curiosity and connection! Families joined us for hands-on activities showcasing months of learning about the human body.

From exploring skin, hair, and nails to building 3D models of body systems—like the intricate digestive system—every classroom highlighted joyful discovery and collaboration.

Thank you to our amazing faculty and families for making UFS such a vibrant learning community! 💙

Did you know that there is more bacteria in your mouth than people alive on Earth? 🦠🌎 Our Fox Class does!
•
Last week, our Fox Class continued their study of the human body with guest speaker and classroom parent, Alyssa! Our friends learned about the five different types of microbes, or microorganisms, and the role they play in keeping us healthy or making us sick. The Fox friends participated in a hands on experiment with five slices of bread. Each slice of bread was exposed to a different level of microbes in the classroom: everyone's unwashed hands, a variety of classroom surfaces, someone's well washed hands, someone's half washed hands, and Alyssa's well washed, gloved hands. Each slice of bread was put in a Ziploc bag, and our friends will observe the bread each day to see what might start to grow. This was an amazing extension of learning. Thank you, Alyssa! 🦠

🩺🫀Our ongoing project-based study of the human body has been exciting and engaging! Yesterday, the Penn class (1st and 2nd grade) welcomed a special guest who shared insights about heart health and the role of a Cardiac Tech at Doylestown Hospital. Our guest brought interactive models, including a heart and pacemakers, and students got hands-on experience listening to heartbeats and measuring oxygen levels with a pulse oximeter. 🫀🩺
