I know you probably have your entire art program determined for the year, yet I thought you might want to know about a really cool project that integrates art and cultural exchange with curricular areas, including science, social studies and language arts.
You may already know about this project, but I love to share this information with creative people.
Each Winter, for many years, Journey North Scientists who research the Monarch butterfly Migration in Mexico, take VIRTUAL Monarchs, made by students(K-8) in the USA, to the children of the region where they research and to the Children's Science Museum in Mexico City. The kids who receive a Virtual Monarch, keep it, and return it in the early Spring. MOST are returned to the USA.
You can find out more about this project at:

Please share this with your colleagues, as you see fit.
I am intrigued with your work and would like to know more about it and your classes :D
