Hi, I am Franklin and I am your class pet! I am a small Red-Eared Slider Turtle. The reason they call me a "red-eared" turtle is because of the small red marks on the sides of my head. I love to hide in my tank and swim around in the water. I love to be held and my favorite food is lettuce and I love when my friends feed me!

You guys will be able to write about all the fun things that I do when you guys are not here (I love going on adventures)! I cannot wait to meet all of you 2nd Graders!
