Our Class Pet!

Hello my name is Akupara pronounced (uh-KOO-pah-ruh) or just Aku for short. I am a three-toed box turtle, and I'm about 30 years old! Ms. Simoneau celebrates my birthday in December, since we don't really know the real date. My favorite foods are strawberries, bananas and fresh worms! I like to enjoy the warm sunshine on my shell, and when I get too hot I like to take a dip in my tub. 

*I'm a great listener, and I love it when children stop by to talk nicely to me*
