I’m always surprised when I come across another storytime theme that I’ve never done before! And this one is most surprising as we have a pet turtle in our library. And he’s the most popular part of the library, by far. So, in honor of Tera, our turtle, here is a lesson plan for a storytime all about turtles. Between fiction and nonfiction books, fun songs and rhymes, as well as adorable crafts, this lesson plan will definitely create some fans of turtles, for sure.
