For our 6th Earth Day Project each third grade class adopted a SEA TURTLE !!! Mrs. Beckett's class adopted a turtle named Dicey and Mrs. Murphy's class adopted a sea turtle named Audrey. Both sea turtles live in North Carolina and are grown female turtles. We learned about how sea turtles are on the endangered species list and we learned about some of the reasons why. Both of our turtles are loggerhead turtles.

Both turtles have a tracking device and can be followed on these sites. Each class will receive a package in the mail with a full color 8x10 photo of the turtles, a map to track them, adoption certificates and information about each turtle. Our third graders did an awesome job raising money for the adoption. Again they learned that this is just one way we can help give back and protect the earth.
