Here is an exciting workshop that will help you get your next school year off to an amazing start with caterpillars and butterflies in your classroom. Students invariably love them. Not only do students get interested, they learn in all subject areas. Teachers leave this two-day workshop with the knowledge and materials to enhance their students’ education including language arts, science, math, geography, and more. Teachers receive hands-on experiences and instruction by experienced teachers. They learn how to lead inquiry-based science activities. They gain the knowledge necessary to raise Monarchs in the classroom and make cages they will use. On a local field trip participants search for eggs and caterpillars and learn to identify them. Training includes indoor and outdoor games and activities. There is a strong Canada/United States/Mexico connection since Monarchs migrate from Canada and the United States to Mexico. There is a spring trip to Mexico to study the Monarchs in their winter habitat as well for those who are interested. Join other enthusiastic educators in a beautiful air-conditioned school library for two days of fun and a fantastic learning experience.Powered by Imageworks, LLC
