Sammy the Turtle

I remember before I had children that my house would never turn into a zoo, literally.  I did not want pets.  I would make sure that we would never have pets.  I thought that pets would make your house smell, some animals shed, and some animals are just yucky. (I am not going to remind you that we have a dog, a cat, and a fish).

On that note, I would like to introduce you to our new classroom pet *sigh*

Sammy

I do not know what I was thinking when I suggested agreed to getting a turtle, probably because he was free and came with all of his items needed to survive.  However, we have had Sammy for a week now, and the kids are learning so much about him and his habitat.  See I knew there would be a homeschool lesson in this!
