Snappy

Our freshwater ecosystem got a new visitor today...

Introducing Snappy! One of our students found him at home and he came to visit for a day or two before being released back into the wild. 


We learned that baby snapping turtles have soft shells and need to be protected. Their species is threatened, so we are very lucky to see such a tiny one up close. 



The children also used their observation skills and did lots of talking and listening about Snappy today. We got some turtle books and did research using the iPad. 

Thank you to KG's family for sharing Snappy!
