The End of the Hunt

Hi kids,
This is my last blog from Louisiana. Yesterday morning, Ms. Roath videoconferenced with her school for the last time. See the video! Then we packed up the bunkhouse, making sure that it was cleaner then when we arrived, and headed to New Orleans. After stopping by the lab and settiing up the caterpillars on their racks we checked back in to the Parkview Guest house. Last night we enjoyed some wonderful New Orleans cooking and jazz music.
This morning we continued working in the lab cataloging the last batch of caterpillars and checking on the earlier ones. We had our last videonconferences and I videoconferenced with the 8th grade. After lunch we tried to go to The Insectarium, a musem of insects, but we were too late. We toured a little more around downtown New Orleans before dinner. Tomorrow I will be flying back to Connecticut and I'll see you all on Thursday.

1. For today, first go to http://www.learner.org/jnorth/tm/monarch/sl/16/0.html and watch the slideshow on "When, Where and How to Watch Fall Monarch Migration"
2. Answer the questions in the slideshow:
How many monarchs per minute can you count?

How many monarchs per hour would that be?

Where would you like to watch migration after looking at this map?

What questions does it raise?

When do monarchs begin to roost where you live?
