Symbolic Monarchs in Mexico

 

Emiliano Zapata Elementary School - 5th and 6th Grades
This school is located in the first belt surrounding territory to Sanctuary "El Rosario".

Arriving to school in the morning, most children walk to school. Some get a ride on their horse!

In the school yard the children gather for the lessons about Monarch migration and Monarch life-cycle. Children sharing, reminding each other, correcting each other, and discussing, in general, Monarch facts and knowledge acquired by them over the last years. A big lesson was added about a healthy forest vs. thinned forest - both in woods and canopy and how this affects the ecosystem.

The whole group then spends time writing and decorating their letters to their counterparts in North America and Canada.

Letters and gifts received and shared between the children.  Something very special was included in the Symbolic butterflies for this school; a couple of Ambassador Monarchs made in Kaiserslautern, Gemany! It was so exciting and caused big, big impact in the children the moment they confirmed how far Germany is. They loved the fact that children from so far away are sending letters to them! Incredible! –They shouted--! Not to belive!  For years the Kaiserslautern school has been participating in the program. Thank you in the end for their concern for Monarchs, --most children expressed.
