When a mother diamondback terrapin lays eggs in a young girl's sandbox, the girl becomes a \"turtle-sitter\" to help the babies safely hatch. She raises the teeny hatchlings until they become big enough to fend for themselves in the wild. Then, with the help of experts, she releases them. Along the way, she learns about these unique animals and that she has made an important contribution to their survival. The \"For Creative Minds\" educational section includes terrapin fun facts and a turtle habitat craft. This fictional story includes a 6-page For Creative Minds section in the back of the book and a 56-page cross-curricular Teaching Activity Guide online. Turtles In My Sandbox is vetted by experts and designed to encourage parental engagement. Its extensive back matter helps teachers with time-saving lesson ideas, provides extensions for science, math, and social studies units, and uses inquiry-based learning to help build critical thinking skills in young readers. The Spanish translation supports ELL and dual-language programs. The interactive ebook reads aloud in both English and Spanish with word highlighting and audio speed control to promote oral language skills, fluency, pronunciation, text engagement, and reading comprehension.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arbordale Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781607188728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 8.10w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e109152 \/ Turtles in My Sandbox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jennifer Keats Curtis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44589864779957,"sku":"9781607188728","price":10.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a79935cd-3707-4da8-94ea-5536f9b0c997.jpg?v=1724733771","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/turtles-in-my-sandbox-9781607188728","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
