Projects from Teachers.Net Classrooms
Join us as we track the butterflies from Journey North. We made them from our handprints. Journey North has several other projects to get involved with and teacher's guides, maps, etc. There is no cost other than the mailing of the butterflies and a donation, if you choose. My students raise money to send a modest donation with their butterflies. I think it's good for them to think about ways they can help preserve our planet and its species. http://www.geocities.com/perryelemk4/monarch.htm
