My students are keeping journals of the things they learn about monarch
butterflies. They answer each week's challenge question in their
journals. Here are some of their responses to challenge question #3.

Monarchs aren't usually found in Texas from June until September because
the early summer butterflies only live for 4 or 5 weeks. And then if
they have time they lay their eggs, and die. Later the eggs hatch and
the butterflies fly off to Mexico.
Spencer Delapaz - Grade 2

Monarchs aren't usually found in Texas from June until September because
it's the end of spring and they fly back to NJ.
Lauren Aldridge - Grade 2

Monarchs aren't usually found in Texas from June until September because
the monarchs that are born in the summer will die and the monarchs born
in the fall live long.
Ronnie Stokes - Grade 2

Monarchs aren't usually found in Texas from June until September because
migrant butterflies are born in the fall, so it won't get there right
away.
Kathryn Moody - Grade 2

Monarchs aren't usually found in Texas from June until September because
the ones that are born before the summer live up to 4-5 weeks. The ones
born after the summer live to migrate.
Caitlin Ward - Grade 2
