Monarch Butterfly Migration

First graders gathered for the annual monarch butterfly migration, a beloved, cross-curricular tradition for both students and teachers that connects science, Spanish, and art classes.
In science, students explored the life cycle of the butterfly, from egg to caterpillar, chrysalis, and finally, a butterfly ready to migrate. They learned that monarch butterflies travel from Delaware to Mexico, where the process begins again! In Spanish, students discovered the cultural significance of the monarch butterfly during El Día de los Muertos, a holiday where the butterflies symbolize the souls of loved ones returning. Art class helped students learn about symmetry as they designed their own symmetrical monarch wings to wear during the migration.
