Time and Money with Monarch Butterflies
Famous for their seasonal migration, millions of monarchs migrate from the United States and Canada south to California and Mexico for the winter. How long does it take? A long time! It can take up to two months for monarch butterflies to make the journey. With such a long road ahead of them, knowing time would be very helpful. Join us as we count nickels, dimes, quarters, and pennies, and read a clock!
