Back to This Week's Update    

Estela uses her time in the classroom to give each student a butterfly. The students each read the message that is attached to their paper butterfly, then they participate in a classroom activity to learn more about monarch habitat, life cycle and conservation.

Estela recently visited Emiliano Zapata Elementary School. Students there were happy to receive your butterflies and were eager to participate. They loved coming to the board to write down the answer or to draw the egg, caterpillar, crysalis and adult monarch butterfly.

  4. What stage are they when they are in our forests?
  5. Where do they reproduce?
  6. What is the name of the only plant-leaves caterpillars eat?
Outside, during recess, there was time for fun and games.
