The fifth graders at Annunciation School have been eagerly looking for their first monarch of the spring. We have been studying monarchs since last fall and are keeping our migration map updated on our bulletin board.

On Sun. Grace and her mother saw one (a fresh, new one) in their backyard garden. It was on a lilac bush.

Eli and his coach saw three on the baseball field. They observed them for a few seconds. It was sunny and warm. The wings appeared to be fresh and bright.

Peter saw one in his backyard and the wings appeared faded and slightly tattered. Observed for 15 sec.

Lauren saw a monarch while playing softball and it flew in front of her face. She got a good look at it and the colors appeared bright.
