Homeschool Day: Monarch Butterflies

Every summer, Western Monarch Butterflies travel many miles through Idaho to migrate to warmer temperatures. Just like these magnificent butterflies, people have also journeyed to and through Idaho, searching for resources and opportunity and building new communities. Join us for Homeschool Day on Wednesday, September 17th to explore the amazing story of Monarch Butterflies, connect their journey to Idaho’s history, and enjoy hands-on activities like growing caterpillars, tie-dye butterflies, and more.
