NAME THAT TURTLE CONTEST
Once, there was a turtle living in a glass house in a land called Nest. She was a present from a fairy godmother* to the wonderful children of Nest.
The children visited the turtle often. They fed her vegetables and played with her. This made the turtle very happy.
But there is one thing missing. The turtle needed a name. So she asked the children to think of a name they could all call her.
The Sparrows suggested Tuttle because that is how they pronounced “turtle”. The Mockingbirds, drawing inspiration from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, chose Donatello. Because they talked about pawikans, the Robins came up with Princess Pawikan - they added “princess” to make it girly. The Cardinals wanted to call it June, from their favorite month. The Vertical Class picked Jewels because the turtle’s shell “looks like jewels”. The Blue Jays played with the word “tortoise” and suggested Turquoise.
The turtle liked all the names the children thought of. But she had to choose just one.
Would you help her choose?
Pick and click the name of your choice in the poll box at the sidebar. The prizes for the class that gets the winning name are books for the children in that class. The deadline for picking and clicking is on Friday, September 14, 3 pm.
* Much thanks to Lola Eliz Cristobal of Trixie and Teacher Ruthie for donating the turtle to us!
