  • The Grove School's building was deliberately redesigned to foster increased learning while being environmentally conscious. We use natural light wherever possible, which improves concentration and conserves energy. Recycled rubber flooring, sustainably harvested materials and low-VOC paint make the school a healthy place to learn while reducing our impact on the planet.

 It was a beautiful day here in Cary, North Carolina for out Pre-K Branching Out Ceremony!

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 : )

I love going into classrooms and looking at our walls!

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!

We’ve had such a wonderful start to Teacher Appreciation Week here at the Grove School of Cary! 

Monday, we let our teachers know that we could not “survive” without them!  Each classroom received a “Teacher Survival Kit” full of small and useful goodies!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tuesday, Grove school parents donated a plethora of salad bar items to show teachers just how good they are for our health! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Throughout the week, yellow circles are available for families to fill out “Thank you for….” to place on all classroom doors! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We’re excited to see what the rest of the week will bring for our fabulous Grove teachers!

Every month, a classroom at The Grove School of Cary features a book for our monthly book club.  For April, the Apple Grove (one of our 4-5 year old classrooms) did a project on Growing Vegetable Soup by Lois Ehlert.

After enjoying the colorful pictures and familiar text of the book, students examined fresh root vegetables like beets, carrots, potatoes and radishes from the Farmer’s Market!  Students learned that root vegetables grow beneath the soil.  Students then discussed and illustrated the root vegetables they would like to grow this year in our outdoor Grove garden!
