Tyler Elementary School

Teacher Coleman Rose brought the tulip garden into his classroom with this creatively interactive mural. Here he shares pieces of the video record he has kept during the Test Garden project.

When the tulip bulbs began to sprout we dug one up from the garden to examine it. We brought the sprouted bulb into the classroom, and using paper and markers we made models of leaves and stems for the mural. We had already made paper bulbs that we "dug" 7" inches down into the paper soil. We added the tulip leaf and stems.

Here's what the soil looks like with the sprouted bulb. Our mural isn't done yet. What do you think we'll add next?
