Students end the project with a fun edition of Monarch Bingo to help students identify key features of a monarch’s life. An extra activity designed for quiet time has students painting the Monarch Wings Activity Sheet that helps them identify the colors and markings that make monarch butterflies unique and easy to identify.

WHAT'S INSIDE:
This download comes with a detailed lesson plan and a supply list to gather your materials. Also included is a pdf of the 11x17 Monarch Wings activity sheet.
