Bobby Pogoloff's second and third grade class in
Crested Butte, Colorado is following the migration
closely. We haven't seen many Monarchs because we are
too high (9,00ft) for milkweed but many valleys just
below us have it so we are very excited. We will be
sending 60 monarchs to Mexico for the symbolic
migration.
We thought about how to explain the impossibilty of a
baby monarch migrating and here are some of our
answers.
Elias F says " There is no such thing as a baby
Monarch because when it comes out of it's case it is
all grown."
Jackson M, Ayla C, Marissa L and Cal F noticed that a
baby monarch is a caterpillar and it would not be able
to migrate very far on those short legs
Olivia B, Morgan O., Billy F, Alex A, and Ali S
noticed that a baby monarch has no wings so it is
unable to fly.
Mikayla sys there is no such thing as a baby monarch
that can fly.
We also came up with a few questions for you:
How do the biologists put the tags on the butterflies?
(Mikayla 2nd)
Does the time it takes to tag the butterflies
interfere with the time needed for such a long
migration? Is it risky?(Jackson 3rd)
How do you put so many words on such a tiny tag?
(Cassidy 2nd)
How big can a Monarch get?(Cheyne 3rd)
Do biologist ever take butterflies inside to study
them?(Sara 2nd)
Why do Monarchs eat milkweed?(Morgan 2nd)
