Kathy Wright's first and second grade class went on a field trip today to Mike and Mary's field to look for milkweed. We were studying monarchs and we found out that they only eat milkweed. We learned that there isn't as much milkweed around anymore because farmers spray it with chemicals and because of development.

We are happy to tell you that we found milkweed! It was 8 1/2 inches tall! We will be watching for more!

We are hoping that the farmers will not spray the milkweed with chemicals anymore. We are watching you!
