My Project
The Monarch Butterfly is becoming one of the most endangered butterflies in the world because of habitat loss and a decrease in the only food the caterpillars eat, which is the milkweed. Humans keep building houses, shopping centers, and creating farmland to grow enough food for the billions of people on Earth, but that all comes with the destruction of food habitat for the Monarch caterpillars and butterflies.
This project will have my students create Modge Podge terra cotta pots with seeds that will help to feed the Monarch, both in caterpillar and butterfly form.
We will plant the flower pots to share with the teachers on campus and the seed packets, hair clips and temporary tattoos will be shared with the student body. We will have a class display at our CTE Showcase in February to educate the school about how they can help to save the butterflies! We will hopefully have some caterpillars to put in the terrarium so they can see how cute they are!
This project will get my students to share what they've learned about the Monarch with their school friends and show them the importance of helping to save this insect species for the good of mankind. Every little bit we can do will help!
