It only seems fitting that I share an update on our living things! ;)
Our Painted Lady Butterflies are likely flying around your gardens laying eggs under leaves on the trees. Be sure to keep your eyes open to look for them! You never know what other eggs you may find if you explore enough!
Our potato plants are planted outside kindergarten. Our Blue group ran out of time so Mr. Downton planted them for us. Did you know he was a potato plant expert? Thank you Mr. Downton! We hope we will have a full crop of potatoes in the fall! If any of you are down around the school over the summer, please have a look at them to see if you see any growth!
My pea pod plant has pea pods on it! Yippee! Miss Lori would be proud. I wonder if any of the kinderkids have pea pods yet?
And now a little sad news. Not all living things will survive, no matter how much you take care of them. Our pumpkin plant that we had planted outside kindergarten has officially died. I wonder if any of the kinderkids had better luck. Keep watching for the yellow flowers...and then buzzzzzzzzzz.... remember you may need to pretend to be a bee!
Just before school ended. Mr. Downton made a discovery outside his dining room window. We were very excited when he sent us some pictures of what he found... Beautiful Robin eggs! And in the words of one of the kinderkids from the Blue Group - "She's having triplets!" :)
Here is the momma protecting her eggs and waiting for them to be born!
And on Friday, the day after our kinderkids finished kindergarten, the baby birds met their momma...and Mr. Downton! They don't look much like their momma yet. They have a lot of growing to do and need a lot of love and care.
And on day 4 - looks like they are hungry...or telling Mr. Downton not to get too close!
As Mr. Downton sends me updates, I'll be sure to post them here!
Happy Summer Everyone!
Love, Mrs. Fennemore :)
