Our classroom pet tortoise has been such a great assess to our students by teaching responsibility, learning about animals and their ecosystems and has also been an emotional support for the 32 students in our classroom. The students have taken charge in caring for our pet tortoise. Creating an outdoor habitat for our tortoise, students will learn about food, shelter and lifestyles. Our project includes an outdoor habitat, seeds to grow natural tortoise food and material to keep the tortoise safe from predators. In the warmer months the tortoise will be able to live outside while students observe the tortoise in a more natural environment.
