Our first observations!








Monarchs in Space

We are so excited about being a part of the Monarchs in Space project. We are caring for 6 Monarch caterpillars. Thank you to Heather at Heckrodt for contacting us and funding our participation. On Monday, we watched the Space Shuttle Atlantis launch. The students made their first written observation yesterday and we took our first photos today.
