Want to know what our children are learning? Just look at our walls!
Katie Markelz | May 22, 2013 | Comment
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!

A Great Start to Teacher Appreciation Week!
Katie Markelz | May 7, 2013 | Comment
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!

For afternoon snack our friends in the Apple Grove (Pre-K Room 3) were told we would be eating a WHOLE plant!!
We were excited and not quite sure we could eat roots, stems, leaves, flowers and seeds….Yikes!
We put all the parts together and found out we can do it.
We ate…
Seeds…shelled and roasted pumpkin seeds
Flower…broccoli floret
Stem…celery stalk
Leaves…lettuce leaves from “our Grove Garden”
and finally roots…baby carrots.

The Grove School of Cary Book Club- April
Katie Markelz | May 3, 2013 | Comment
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!
