During the first two months of the year, the younger Children’s House students have been learning about the lifecycle of the butterfly in Spanish.
Sra. Ale has also been working with the Children’s House elders to learn more about the monarch butterfly’s life and its journey to Mexico. Together they planted milkweed seeds in our pollinator garden and are participating in the Symbolic Migration program through Journey North.
In the Willow class, children have been observing small caterpillars eat milkweed, grow, then enter a chrysalis. So far, the students have released two adult monarch butterflies and are waiting for the last one to emerge from the final chrysalis!
