TD Friends of the Environment have made this fully funded Grade 4 program possible. Classes in Durham Region will receive a visit from an Environmental Educator who will teach them all about Monarchs, their habitats, and what we can do to protect (and grow!) these habitats in our communities. Students will end the presentation with new knowledge of both Monarchs and Native Plants, and a seed ball to take home!
“This is an excellent presentation!!! The students were very engaged and the content was a perfect segue to head into our science habitat unit.” – DDSB Grade 4 Teacher
This in-person visit is approximately two hours in length.
These programs are funded through the support of the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation.
