Loggerhead Turtles

We wrote poems about turtles in preparation for our field trip to the Marine Science Center.





By Jonothan

Loggerhead Turtle.
Sea turtles have brown flippers.
They are endangered.

By: Caitlyn

The turtles never get to see their mom
Under water creature
Raccoons eat their eggs
The Logger head turtle is called that because it has a big head
Lay 100 eggs pure nest
Endangered

By Christopher

The great threat is loss of nesting.
U.S. listed as threatened
Ridges and has large, non-over lapping, rough scutes.
They are boys if the sand is cool, they are girls if the sand is warm
Logger head-named for its exceptionally large head.
Eat jellyfish.

By Dianthe


Turtle is my class pet.
Underwater turtles.
Raccoons eat turtle eggs.
Turtles are cool.
Laying eggs is what the mother turtle does.
Eggs are what turtles start out when they are a baby .

By Kailee

Turtles grow up to 2.5 to 3.5 feet
U.S listed as Threatened.
Raccoons eat the eggs
Turtles lay 100 eggs.
Little turtles are in a group.
Eggs incubate for about 60 days.


By Jacob

Turtles live in the sea
United States said loggerhead turtles are in endanger
Rear flippers can have 2 or 3 claws
Turtles lay up to 100 eggs
Little turtles only one out of 100 survive
Endangered
By Jacob

Turtles eat jellyfish in the sea
United states said not to throw trash
Red eared turtles rock
Turtles lay 100 eggs
Little turtles rule
Endangered
By Aubrey

They are under water sea creatures
Usually found under water
Really fast
They never get to see their mom
Lays 100 eggs
Explores the ocean

Turtle poem
By Jacob

Turtles eat jellyfish
U.S. said not to throw trash in the ocean
Reddish-brown with a yellow dish-brown plastron
Turtles lay 100 eggs
Little turtles rock
Endangered
