Winter Monarch Butterfly Journal
Our
Theme: Surviving the Winter in Mexico
When Journey North begins in February, the Monarchs are at the over-wintering
sites in Mexico. For the first 6 weeks of the live program, our theme
is survival. This journal
is designed to be used before the spring migration begins in March. Through
Monarch News Updates, students
explore the habitat and climate of the monarch's winter home. They also
learn about the adaptations monarchs have that help them to survive.
Page by page, the journal is a workplace where students explore ever-changing events, record compelling questions, formulate hypotheses, document discoveries, and chronicle each step of their learning journey.
Weekly Monarch News includes journal page specific to the current week's topic:
