Field Trip to Lincoln Park Zoo

Did you know that the giraffe is the tallest animal on the ground and can reach up to 19 feet in height? We had a very successful field trip to Lincoln Park Zoo. Along with many other schools our class was able to navigate through the zoo and see some very interesting animals.

After a long wait for our bus we finally arrived back to Garvy just in time to go home and enjoy a three day weekend. I'd like to thank all of the chaperones for volunteering their time and energy. The kids and I really appreciate and feel lucky to have such supportive parents!

Silent Auction Park Play Date

In support of the Garvy School Silent Auction I donated a play date in the park. After school we went to get an ice cream treat, played in the park and painted our fingernails (pink with sparkles of course). We had a great time! Thank you to all the families whose efforts and financial support made the auction an overwhelming success.

Buddies!

Recently our Kindergarten class has been spending time with older students at Garvy. During these times we have read books to buddies and listened to stories. Our reading skills continue to progress and we have a class of readers. It's a very exciting time in Kindergarten.

The eighth graders incubated chicken eggs and had a very successful batch of 10 chicks. Visiting their classroom and learning about the life cycle was time well spent. Plus our class really liked seeing the little chicks!
