In October students are focusing on learning all about Monarch Butterflies and their fascinating migration! Ask your second graders about our Texas State Insect and a fun fact that they learned.

While in the garden today students learned all about the life cycle of monarch butterflies. They were able to observe the larva and pupa stage in the butterfly habitat. One group was able to watch the caterpillar that was hanging the the habitat in a J shape begin to make its chrysalis. One group of students saw a monarch in the garden area, but it was not close enough to capture and tag. All of the students investigated in the gardens and checked out the seeds they planted on their last visit. They planted more seeds in the places where more seeds were needed.
