Tuesday April 10 was our first day back from spring break. On our way to recess we were so excited to see many common milkweed plants sprouting in our school yard. Students went out to measure them and we learned the tallest milkweed is 14 1/2 inches or 35 cm. The shortest milkweed was 4 inches or 11 cm. We counted 12 plants so far (4/10). We did not see milkweed on March 30, the last day before spring break. We estimate the first milkweed emerged around April 3.
