According to my special days calendar, May 23 is World Turtle Day!  I have found some great free resource links to follow as we learn about turtles in our homeschool with a one day only mini unit study.

Lapbook from here  http://www.homeschoolshare.com/turtles.php

Much about turtles, conservation, rescue, and more here http://www.seaturtleinc.org/

More cool turtle stuff  here  http://www.conserveturtles.org/turtletides.php

Something challenging for an art project here  http://spoonful.com/printables/make-origami-turtle

Turtle jokes for Z from here http://www.gogonews.com/posts-Turtle+Jokes!-6460.html

“What kind of jokes do turtles tell? SHELL-arious ones!”

And finally a notebooking page for a journal entry about turtles from here  http://www.activityvillage.co.uk/sea_turtle_writing_paper.htm

It looks like we’ve got science, language arts, computer lab, art, and fun covered for our homeschool summer school today!
