Happy Friday! We hope you had a great week teaching.

Take a break and watch this amazing video footage (Video courtesy of Art Howard, Artwork) of the monarch butterflies roosting in Mexico. Journey North starts the spring monarch migration season off in Mexico with the sights and sounds of a butterfly colony.

If you’re feeling inspired and creative, write a poem. What words would a poet write while sitting below butterfly-filled branches?
