Our Turtle

After cleaning the classroom on Monday, I took our turtle to the pet store to find out exactly what kind he is. 

So, we still are not completely positive but it has been narrowed to to a box turtle or a Missouri Mud turtle.  I won't know if it is a boy or a girl until it gets bigger, so we decided on a girl for right now so we could name her.

Mertle the Turtle

She loves her knew habitat and large meal worms!

Stop by and see her next year, she will be in our classroom.  

I think I might need to take pictures next to an object so you will be able to see her growth!  it's a little hard to see how small she really is.  Right now she is burrowing in her dirt...

It's not goodbye yet...

...I know my sweetie pies are gone from the room and I finished packing on Monday, but I will keep this blog dedicated to you until July.  I still have books I am publishing and pictures that will be posted so keep checking back or join by email and you will get an update every time I post.

Right now I am packing and getting ready to go on vacation.  I will try to post a few pictures and publish a few books, but it depends on the internet signal--it's not really fast down there.

If you stop by our blog, leave me a quick comment and let me know you were here!

Have fun this summer!
