Last week, I was out for a professional day when I suddenly got a text...did you take squirtle home? Uh oh! No...I did not. Let me back up and tell you...Squirtle is our pet turtle. He is an African Side Necked turtle and he is about a year old. He has escaped twice before but was found under a bookshelf and the under a desk. We always found him within a few minutes. Not so lucky this time.
This turtle is smart. The hole he squeezed through was half the size of his shell...I have no idea how he managed it! We sent the kids looking in the hallways and around the school...but no luck. Finally, the kids made posters:
Unfortunately, it has been a week now...and still no sign of my turtle. We end school on Friday and I am fairly certain that we will find him when we pack up the rooms and move furniture. I hope I can report that he is safe and happy...but the reality is, it may not have a happy ending. I will keep you posted!

Oh no! I hope you find him safe and sound. Our pet lizard got out this year and I didn't even know it until I saw her by my desk a week later. No wonder we couldn't find her in her cage.
