It’s Monarch migration time at Sage Creek Elementary! The second grade students spent the month of September observing the life cycle of the Monarch butterfly. After collecting eggs from local milkweed plants in Springville, the children then cared for the caterpillars until each caterpillar shed its skin to reveal a beautiful green chrysalis. They then waited for the anticipated day that the butterflies would hatch. This year the students released 32 monarch butterflies that they are surely now heading to either California or Mexico for the winter. Thanks to Ms. Sayers for so much time spent after hours and on weekends finding the Monarch eggs that make this experience possible for Sage Creek second graders.
