BUTTERFINGER

BUTTERFINGER WAS DONATED TO OUR CLASS BY A TRANSFER STUDENT WHO MOVED OUT OF STATE.  THE PAINTED TURTLE WAS ALREADY NAMED BY THE STUDENT BECAUSE OF ITS COLORING.  BUTTERFINGER ENJOYS SWIMMING IN THE WATER AND DIVING OFF THE LOG.  BUTTERFINGER ALSO ENJOYS WHEN THE STUDENTS TAKE HER OUT OF HER AQUARIUM AND LET HER EXPLORE THE CLASSROOM.  BUTTERFINGER EATS TURTLE PELLETS.
