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 combination of classroom and field experiences. The workshop will take place over 2 days, from 8 a.m.- 4 p.m. 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.
