Fun Facts about Green Sea Turtles

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

Enjoy some fun facts about green sea turtles: They feed on jellyfish and crabs as juveniles. As adults, they eat mostly sea grasses and algae. These creatures weigh an average of 400 pounds! They can swim up to 35 miles per hour. They can be found off the coast of around140 countries, but are still on the endangered species list. They are estimated to live about 80 years old. Sea turtles cannot breathe underwater. They must come to the surface for some air. And last, did you know that Emma is a great name for a sea turtle? 😉 For more information about Emma, check out my book, Turtle Tube: An Erutuf National Park Novel.

World Water Day

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

Today, we celebrate World Water Day, an annual United Nations Observance that started in 1993. This day focuses on the importance of water, celebrates water, and raises awareness of the 2 billion people living without access to safe water. It is about taking action to tackle the global water crisis. Each year, the UN changes the theme related to water. The theme for this year is groundwater – making the invisible visible. I like how simple this theme is as groundwater isn’t seen, but has an impact everywhere. Their site had several children’s activities posted online. I am attaching two documents for children to do. First, enjoy a cool word search. In addition, you can try out this fun maze. You can also try to reduce your water usage at home. It all adds up and makes a difference.

Happy National Panda Day! Who can resist a day dedicated to one of the most adorable animals?! Did you know that pandas spend about 14 hours eating? They consume about 83 pounds of bamboo a day! And did you know that pandas are born blind and weigh only 4 ounces (picture a stick of butter)? And did you know that pandas need our help to protect them as less than 2,000 panda exist today? To celebrate this day and these important animals: check out a documentary on giant pandas; virtually adopt a panda online; watch pandas on livecams on explore.org; purchase a panda item from pandasinternational.org; or consider donating to one of the organizations dedicated to protecting these animals such worldwildlife.org or pandasinternational.org.
