Pets at Home and at School

By Emmy M and Emma S

The kindergarteners told us about class pets and pets at home. Dominic from Ms. Saliny’s class said he had pets at home. We learned that he has a responsibility of feeding his two ferrets named Max and Stall. He told us that he never forgets to feed them. Dominic must be very responsible!

Lucy informed us that Ms. Saliny’s class doesn’t have a class pet. Lucy has two cats at home, but she does not have the responsibility to feed them yet.

Isabel told us that Ms. Bernstein’s class has an exciting pet turtle named Shelly. Isabel has two pet goldfish at home named Rector and Jessica. Isabel confessed that she sometimes forgets to feed her pets and her mom has to remind her.

Jude is also from Ms. Bernstein’s class and informed us that he has a pet cat. Jude said, “I only give my cat food but I remind my mom to fill it [my cat’s bowl] up with water.”

It seems like these Kindergarteners have many responsibilities for their pets. Pets are fun to own but it’s important to remember to take care of them.

Ms. Saliny's class enjoys a book read to them by Ms. Sullivan.

A Slow Race

By Emily M.

Some Kindergarten classes have class pets and love them very much. Mrs. Bernstein and Mrs. Rose have pet turtles. One is named Shelly and the other Pokey. Even though turtles are known for being quite slow, the classes know they can be very exciting! On Thursday, March 25^th a turtle race took place between Shelly (Mrs. Bernstein’s turtle) and Pokey (Mrs. Rose’s turtle). Both classes attended this exciting event. Shelly won the race by a lot. Mrs. Rose’s class were really good sports about their loss. Thank you to Mr. Bishop for making the race track for the race!
