First Graders Participate in Journey North Migration Project!

Students in Señora Craft's Class with their Mariposas

Our Large Mariposa from Señora Craft's class

Individual Mariposas from Señora Kamb's Class
This week our first graders completed their symbolic paper monarchs to mail to friends in Mexico.  Each student made an individual butterfly to send, and each class created a large cardboard butterfly as a joint project.  We will mail them this week to the Journey North headquarters.  Our paper "mariposas" will "fly" to Mexico for the winter just like their real-life butterfly counterparts.  We look forward to tracking our butterflies online and then receiving paper butterflies back in the spring!  Check out our photos above!
