2 Turtles in my Sandbox Sequence Sentence Strips Preparation: Copy this page onto a card stock. Cut into sentence strips, laminate if desired, and place in a center. Have children put the events in order. Children may work alone or in small groups. Cards are in order but should be mixed up when cut apart. Some of the actions are inferred in the story Mamma terrapin crawled out of the bay, dug a nest, and laid her eggs Maggie found the nest of eggs in her sandbox Maggie and her mother researched and learned about terrapins Maggie and her mother covered the nest with a nest protector to keep raccoons and other animals out One hot September day, the terrapins hatched out of their shells Maggie put the hatchlings in three aquariums.
3 She feed the terrapins and took care of them. Every morning Maggie turned on the heat lamps The terrapins grew over the winter On the first day of summer, Maggie, her mom, and the turtle lady released the terrapins into the bay.
4 Turtles in my Sandbox Terrapins are found in brackish water from Cape Cod, down the Atlantic coast, around the Florida pennisula, and the Gulf of Mexico. Color the area where you might see a terrapin. The word terrapin comes from the Native Americans who lived around the Chesapeake Bay before the Europeans arrived. Would cultures from the Midwest or the Southwest have had a name for terrapins? Why or why not?
5 Turtles, Terrapins & Tortoises: Same or different? All three are reptiles. That means: they have scaly skin are cold-blooded (warmed by the air or water around them) breathe air usually lay soft, leathery eggs (some snakes give birth to live young) Depending on where you live, the three names may be used differently. In Australia, only sea turtles are called turtles and all others are tortoises. In Great Britain a turtle refers only to a sea turtle and terrapin refers to those that live in freshwater. So, if three different scientists (in Australia, Great Britain, and the US) are doing research on a specific type of turtle; how do they know which turtle they are talking about? This is why scientists use the scientific classification name for animals. These names are based on Latin and are used to refer to the same animal no matter where it is in the world. All turtles, terrapins, and tortoises belong to the order called Chelonia. Because of this, it is correct to refer to terrapins or tortoises as turtles; but it is not correct to call a turtle a terrapin or tortoise! The following definitions are based on what is generally used or accepted in most parts of the United States: Tortoises: live only on land have short, stumpy legs are plant eaters dig burrows for a house Terrapins: live in brackish water but will bask on or rocks in the sun have both webbed feet and claws so they can swim and crawl onto land. can pull their heads and feet into their shells for protection but they do not have a hinge like a box turtle. Turtles: Includes them all, even tortoises and terrapins. If in doubt, call it a turtle. Includes animals that spend most of their time in the water: snapping turtles and sea turtles. These turtles have webbed feet or flippers to help them swim.
6 Reptiles versus Mammals breathe air most are born alive most are born from eggs hair or fur dry, scaly skin or shell eat milk from mother warm-blooded cold-blooded Reptiles Common Mammals
7 Turtle Word Search Find the hidden words. Even nonreading children can try to match letters to letters to find the words! Easy words go up to down or left to right. For older children, identify the coordinates of the first letter in each word (number, letter).
