Keep a Fall Monarch Butterfly Migration Journal

Click and Print for Ready-made Journals
As you embark on your scientific journey with the monarchs, inspire your students to think and act like scientists as they follow the monarch butterfly's fall migration. Invite students to begin building travel Journey North journals. Page by page, the journal is a workplace where students explore ever-changing events, record compelling questions, formulate hypotheses, document discoveries, and chronicle each step of their learning journey.

  • Print a cover for each student. Add your own blank pages or click and print from this collection of journal pages. You'll also find journal pages in many slideshows and activities.
  • Staple or bind journal pages or keep them in each students' pocket folder to pull out on "Journey North days."
