Ms. Cruz's students brought Milkweed, the novel by Jerry Spinelli, to life by exploring the courtyard in search of unusual plant growth. The novel the students are reading is a historical fiction novel about a nameless, small orphan boy, later called Misha, navigating the Nazi occupation of Warsaw, Poland, during World War II. The Milkweed plant becomes a symbol of hope in a dark and tumultuous time for the main characters. Students were asked to connect their findings in the courtyard to the symbolic milkweed pods in the novel, reflecting on how even in the harshest conditions, growth, hope, and resilience can still exist.
