Yesterday, the third graders in 3B at McKnight Elementary School in Pittsburgh, PA, were removing straw from our milkweed patch. We saw milkweed sprouting! They were about 4-12 cm high. Martin and Caroline measured. Our tulips are surrounding the milkweed garden. We are going to use the straw to make bird nests at our Earth Day activities tomorrow. Each week one of our classmates reads the Journey North report and let's us know the important information. Dana noticed that you needed to know when our milkweed sprouted. We can't wait to see the monarchs return to our garden.
