 
Journey North
|
Journey North is an internet project that engages students in
a global study of wildlife migration and seasonal change.
Our class participated in this fall's "Symbolic Monarch
Butterfly Migration." We joined students from all across
the United States and Canada in creating thousands of paper
butterflies that made the journey south to Mexico for the
winter. The butterflies' fall flight is times to
correspond with the real monarchs' journey south.
Mexican students from the butterfly sanctuary region will
greet the butterflies and watch over them during the winter
months. At the same time in the mountains nearby, the
entire eastern population of North American monarch
butterflies will be resting in Mexico for the winter. Sometime
next March, when the real monarchs' departure from Mexico is
announced, the paper butterflies will return. Each butterfly
will carry a special message from the Mexican students to the
students in Canada and U. S. who made them.
These are the
butterflies we made. We wrote messages in Spanish to the
students in Mexico. We are looking forward to receiving
butterflies back in the Spring with messages written to us. |
