This fall Mr. Servos' grade 9 and 10 science class have raised Monarch butterflies in the classroom. Students harvested milkweed plants to feed the larvae and were lucky enough to see the entire life-cycle of the Monarch butterfly; from egg to larvae (caterpillar), to pupae (cocoon) and finally to adult. Students were able to learn about the Monarch's migration to Mexico and when the adult butterflies emerged students hand released them from the roof of the school. What a way to start their mighty journey south!
