Children proudly wore their Grove School class t-shirts and shades, to remind them just how truly bright their futures are!  We are SO PROUD of our Pre-K students and their exciting journey ahead in Kindergarten.  We know, without a doubt, that they are more than ready : )  

There are so many wonderful displays throughout the school highlighting all the creative and imaginative work our students do each and every day.  What amazes me all the time are the pictures that students make themselves, the words they write, and the answers they give to life’s many questions. 

By displaying work that children create themselves, it builds confidence, pride, and a sense that what they create is of value and importance.  Here are just a few examples of how The Grove School of Cary shows our students that their learning here is of the utmost value!

Our private Kindergarten program will be starting August 26^th 2013 at The Grove School of Cary!  We will be using a popular homeschooling program called “K12 Interactive” which incorporates the use of our SmartBoards into the curriculum.   The curriculum is fun, engaging, and highly interactive! 

We will stay true to our Grove philosophy by providing fresh and organic snacks and drinks, exploration and interaction in our Outdoor Grove classroom, and hands-on, activity based learning each and every day. 

The program is open to Kindergarten age ready children that are 5 years of age by December 31^st.

This month is teacher apreciation month here at the Grove School of Plano. Each day we are taking a moment to express how important each of our teachers are to us and the families we serve. Last week our parents hosted a variety of activities such as a teachers breakfast, snack-o-rama day and our very own teacher luncheon. The day of the teachers luncheon each teacher was presented with a special gift basket that all of their parents donated items for. The teachers were so surprised and felt so appreicated! The parents also  took a moment to share how special their child’s teacher is to them by writing a special note. Each note placed on each teachers classroom “I inspire Learning” posters for the teachers to view. The messages were so heartfelt and brought some teachers to tears.

A huge Thank You to all of the families for all that you did to make this month a very special time for our team!

We served refreshments of fresh cut strawberries, ladyfingers and lemonade.  Each classroom had a special project planned for the event including planting flowers in recycled baby food jars, recycled jewelry making, recycled sun catchers, and recycled cardboard picture frame decorating.  Thank you to all the lovely ladies that attended!

Please join us Monday May 13th from 4 pm- 6 pm for our Lady I Love event.  Come and enjoy refreshments and a special activity with your child and his/her teachers!

Our infant room is finally up and running and we have enjoyed it so much!  We have been spending time getting to know our new infants and helping them adjust and socialize with each other.  With our curriculum being individualized to each child, it has given us a chance to truly focus on the needs and skill level of the child and help them succeed in their own way.  They have been doing great and it is so fun to watch them grow on a daily basis!

In strands we are discussing different types of insects and arachnids as well as learning about the seasons through songs, pictures, games, and understanding graphs.  It is spring, and because of the beautiful weather we have been going outside much more to work on our garden and compost pile! We are also learning some new yoga poses and I will have the children learn Tai Chi so we can learn to move our bodies like nature.  One of the most exciting aspects this month about strands is the preschool classes will be putting on a play at the end of the month called “How Crocodile Got A Bumpy Back”! The pre-kindergarten class is working together to write their own dialogue for the Ashanti tale “Anansi and Turtle”!

This is a very exciting month.
