Did you know that leatherback sea turtles eat only jellyfish? There are many different species of sea turtle and each has a specific diet. Some eat sea grasses, others lobsters, crustaceans, and fish. But, they have no teeth! https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EIffdbFZMPQ<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have discovered lots of sea animals and other animals previously. Let\u2019s sort them into living in (1) sea, (2) on ground, and (3) in the air. Divide a piece of paper into 3 columns. Here are the animal pictures: https:\/\/olmercyca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ocean-animals.png<\/a>, https:\/\/www.behindthemombun.com\/free-printable-pack-animal-sort-and-matching-games-for-preschool\/<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your child has a nature journal, have your child make a drawing of a sea turtle that you can label and date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tammy Turtle<\/span> by Suzanne Tate is telling us all about the life of a sea turtle. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XfZ_5yDBuMg<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After viewing the story, help you child to recall characteristics of a sea turtle (swims, lays eggs, eats…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m a Little Turtle\u201d Song<\/strong> (Tune \u201cI\u2019m a Little Teapot\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a little turtle. I swim so slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wear my house on my back you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it\u2019s time for me to go inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tuck my legs and then I hide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDown in the Ocean\u201d Song<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Down in the ocean in a little shallow reef
Swam ten little turtles and a mama turtle, too.
“Swim,” said the mama turtle. “Swim like I do.”
So they swam and they swam all over the reef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeat the song several times, changing the action word (splash, dive, and float) or reducing The number of turtles by one each time from ten to one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
