The Grade 3's were delighted and quite excited at the arrival of a turtle egg this week. Mark Wilbee's Dad was ploughing the field, when he over -turned some turtle eggs. Mrs. Wilbee brought some to school. The entire student body crowded into the Grade 3 room for a lesson on nature. They learned: 1. The egg is small, round, rubbery and it will bounce. 2. The turtle will have the best chance of hatching if it's left in dry soil in a warm spot. It will eat the yolk while it's in the shell. 3. Turtles can lay as many as 100 eggs. 4. The mother turtle doesn't stay with the eggs, so a lot of hatchlings die. 5. We're not sure what kind of turtle egg we have, but we hope to learn more if it hatches.
