Twenty eight enthusiastic third graders planted tulips in our nature center gardens today. One section of the gardens had been saved for our tulip planting. We followed the planting instuctions with some limitations since the area had already been set up for us. Our class divided into four groups. Three groups planted their tulips according to the planting directions. We had brainstormed several "What if?" quesions. The fourth group planted one bulb ten inches deep, one bulb upside down, one bulb on its side, and two bulbs one on top of the other. We also plan to plant one bulb after the first snow. A few students accidently peeled the covering off their bulb on the way to the garden. Each group had a recorder who drew a map of their planting site. It was 43 degrees farenheit here today. We anxiously await the arrival of spring.
