This is a journal of a miracle - a Monarch miracle. Butterflies are nature's classic example of the miracle of metamorphosis - a dramatic change of one thing into something completely different. First it's a tiny egg...then a caterpillar...then a chrysalis...and finally it emerges as a magnificent Monarch butterfly. This book will guide you and your young scientists in raising Monarchs, witnessing the amazing changes that occur, and then setting them free. My Monarch Journal is: Real science - observing, guessing, and recording in the ample space provided. Easy to use - with clear parent-teacher material and tips for classroom teachers. Adaptable - to a wide range of abilities (including non-English speaking students) and grade levels. Ideally, your students will raise their own butterflies and keep track of them alongside Monty, the Monarch photographed in this book. Or, they can just watch Monty as she eats her way out of her egg...as her first green meal moves through her body...as she inflates and gyrates to shed her old skin so she can grow bigger. Finally, Monty retreats into a green and gold chrysalis and is "reborn" with wings! My Monarch Journal, of which your student is the author, can easily become a highlight of the curriculum. It integrates science, math, writing, and art - and your students will gain a profound appreciation for nature, and for creatures great and small.
