A Monarch Project Part 2
by Mrs. Strop and the Fifth Grade
Fifth graders had a blast reviewing the life cycle of the Monarch! We observed and noted the changes into a chrysalis, saw it emerge, and gently released it in the school's flower garden just in time for it's long, almost 3, 000 mile journey to Mexico. Studying the migration and patterns of the Monarch was so interesting that we learned how to put together a slideshow to share our information with others. When walking around the school grounds looking for signs of Monarch caterpillars, we discovered that Milkweed, which is their only food, is sparse! We decided to continue our project by creating a Milkweed garden! (more details to follow in the spring with the help of Dr. Julie Ray)
The following are a few fun facts we found:
-Monarch caterpillars eat up to 200 times their weight
-They use the sun's position and the Earth's magnetic field to find their way
-Their diet of only milkweed makes both the caterpillars and adult butterflies toxic to predators like birds.
-Male monarchs are identified by the black dots on their hind wings
-A group of butterflies is called a flutter or a kaleidoscope.

Important Update for after school hours during "WORK" Club
Please note Cub Scouts starts tomorrow, Wednesday, September 24th at 6:00 p.m.
Oscar, the continental giant bunny, came to visit today. Oscar is still growing, with the record for his type of rabbit coming in at 53 pounds!
Our Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches also had babies but so far I haven't gotten a good picture of them.
Oscar will stay for at least today, if anyone would like a brain break to come and give him some pets.

Kinders enjoyed searching for signs of the fall season today! They walked down Main Street and found beautiful fall decorations, pointed out safe spaces to go (if there is ever a need) and worked on understanding direction. We even created a map to help us.
The kindergarten students would love to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to all the local businesses that made it so beautiful for us to take pictures today!

The champs aren’t too important to still appreciate their status in the eyes of our littles! A number of our volleyball players greeted Winter School District students as they got off the bus fresh off of a tournament championship this past weekend. The Warriors have two games today as part of a Tri in New Auburn (4:00 and 5:45ish) and then host Lake Holcombe tomorrow evening at 5:45/7:15! JV will be back in action tomorrow evening.
Great job, ladies!
Great job, ladies!

The 4th grade enjoyed reading about cells and organisms, no better way to celebrate our learning than with some hands on science with Dr. Ray.
