Our class is participating with other classrooms throughout North America in a symbolic butterfly migration. The project is sponsored by Journey North, an organization that provides educational programs about endangered species and promotes conservation efforts. Our butterflies are now on their way to Mexico. They will spend the winter there, just as the real monarch butterflies do. They will be cared for by a class of schoolchildren there, and in the spring we will receive butterflies in return. Our beautifully decorated butterflies carried messages of friendship to our neighbors in Mexico.
