Many people think of monarchs in the fall.
They have been used in the classroom for education for years. Monarchs are easy to rear on milkweed and soon turn into a beautiful chrysalis eventually to emerge as a butterfly. To find these caterpillars, search on leaves of milkweed plants-a sign of their presence might be some droppings or holes in the leaves. Students are fascinated with live critters in the classroom. Your classroom can be involved in this activity of tagging monarchs and recording sightings.
