About

Sea Turtles, called tortuga marina in Spanish, have a fascinating life cycle. The students will learn more about how sea turtles live and what makes them a very special reptile. From nesting, eggs, to growing up, we will discover how these creatures live and also practice some Spanish and English vocabulary. Classroom programs are all correlated with the Colorado Model Content Standards.
