Migrating Monarchs
Science Provide a large map of North America on which to mark the progression of monarch migration this year. The following sites provide updated information: www.monarchwatch.org, www.learner.org/jnorth, and www.monarchlab.umn.edu.

Plant Milkweed Seeds for the Monarch Butterfly
Butterfly Encounters is encouraging everyone to plant milkweed seeds for the monarch butterfly. The caterpillar stage of the monarch butterfly feeds on milkweed plants. As land is developed and milkweed populations diminish, the monarch butterflies habitat is lost. Using this activity your students can plant a milkweed garden to help rebuild the monarch butterflies habitat.
