Yesterday, Mrs. Kennedy’s 3rd grade class took a hands-on approach to learning about Monarch butterflies by planting milkweed seeds outside! 🌱🦋 The students, who are currently observing Monarch caterpillars in their classroom, learned that these beautiful butterflies are almost endangered and only lay their eggs on milkweed. Eager to make a difference, they wrote to DBAIC Principal, Mr. Isselmann, requesting permission to plant milkweed at the school. This initiative will provide a crucial food source and breeding ground for the Monarchs. We hope that next year, the students will see the fruits of their efforts and witness the Monarchs thriving! 🌼🦋 #ButterflyConservation #HandsOnLearning #BooneProud

Why is milkweed important? Members of Mrs. Kennedy's 3rd grade class are finding out through books, videos, and their own experiment. The class, with the help of Ashley Griffith and Angela Owens, planted milkweed seeds today in the hopes that monarch butterflies will visit next year!
