Meeting a Snapping Turtle Story
In North Dakota when I was a little girl we had Snapping
Turtles. They found their home near rivers, and lakes. One spring when I was a
little girl the river overflowed and our backyard was flooded with about a foot
deep. What an exciting adventure for a five year old! When my mother wasn’t
looking I snuck out to see how different my backyard looked. Yes, I got in
trouble!
When the water receded it left a surprise! There in the
muddy grass was a huge Snapping Turtle! It was about the size of a tire. My little
brothers, sister and I rushed out to meet it. My Mother rushed out to get us
back into the house. Snapping Turtles SNAP!
Say the rhyme and choose a number of bugs to eat. You could have the children pick the number, or draw a number of bugs out of a bag and set them out. Clap hands together like a turtle for the number of bugs they eat.
