Teaching and Learning with Monarch Butterflies Workshop
Each summer, volunteers from the Monarch Teacher Network Canada offer workshops to all interested educators.
It is a three-day combination of classroom and field experiences. Participants learn:
- the life cycle, ecology and conservation of monarchs
- to raise and tag them
- to teach effective, cross-curricular lessons
- to develop a school butterfly garden and natural classroom and more!
The goal is to provide teachers with the knowledge, experience, materials and confidence to raise monarchs in their classroom in September and produce an outstanding learning experience for students.
We are pleased to announce that the Weston Foundation has renewed the grant to Monarch Teacher Network - Canada for another 3 years!
