Totally Turtles
Totally Turtles takes a closer look at one of the more interesting reptiles found in the ocean, the sea turtle. In this program, students will explore the world of sea turtles through a variety of activities, a story and a craft. Students will get an up close look at some of our own sea turtles and even get the chance to touch real sea turtle shells.  Participants will compare and contrast some of the differences between sea turtles and land turtles. A closer look into the life cycle of sea turtles will allow students to better understand why they are endangered and what we can do to help sea turtles. 

These programs are developed for four to six year olds with a parent or chaperone. Because this class is specifically designed for four to six year olds, any younger or older siblings of the child should stay at home and cannot be admitted to the class. These programs allow students to delve into the ocean world through interactive, hands on programming. Child/adult interaction is encouraged in the class, aiding in the student’s discovery while fostering parent child relationships.
