Introducing Bubbles Rainbow
We have a new friend. He is a boy Beta fish. We learned about voting this week and took a vote to decide his name. Bubbles Rainbow is getting to know us. He likes to eat snack when we eat snack. We do not know very much about Beta Fish. We are looking for Beta experts who may be able to answer our questions. If you know of any, send them our way!

Zero The Hero
Yesterday was our 10th day of kindergarten. We received a gift from Zero the Hero.
We made a bracelet. It had 10 beads.
We drew pictures of Zero the Hero.
We played the countdown game.
Zero has a favorite number. It is 0.
Matthew said he likes Zero the Hero.
Zarif told us a story about Zero the Hero.

We Did It!
Today was the day and I am happy to report that 38 kinderkids, parents and teachers were brave as we made it through our first day of kindergarten! It was quite a hectic day but we sure had a lot of fun meeting new friends and exploring our new classroom.
This year, we are very fortunate to have Ms. Pynn, a teacher intern from Memorial University, working with both our Blue Group (AM class) and Red Group (PM class). Ms. Pynn will be with us until December and I have a feeling we will have many exciting adventures throughout the term! Along with welcoming Ms. Pynn, we will also have the assistance of two other teachers Ms. McKinnon (Blue Group) and Ms. Upward (Red Group) as well as a student assistant Ms. Tobin. You can be assured, we will all work together with you to ensure your child has the best kindergarten year possible.

Spread your wings little birdies...
Well it has happened...our last day of kindergarten has come and gone. Summer fun is here. Time to explore new things and have new adventures with family and friends... what could be better, right?
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 :)
