I've been asked by a local elementary school to do a presentation on tortoises....
One of the teachers followers me on FB and had her kids picking dandelions and other weeds from a safe field over the last few weeks and she asked if I'd come in with one or more of my torts and give a short talk.
My plan is to bring in a couple of my torts, a Russian or two (Chili & Persephone) and the Redfoot and the Hingeback, set them up in small fenced enclosures on the grass and talk about them with small groups of the kids for a bit, answer questions, and let some of the kids hold or touch the torts.
What things would you be sure to include, or skip, if you were me?
Thanks,
Jamie
