This Wednesday, the third graders at Annie Wright School took advantage of a sunny day. Rain was predicted for the next week so we formed a bucket brigade to carry soil to our new raised planting bed and filled it with soil.

Next each student planted 2 tulip bulbs using the Journey North guide lines. The three teachers also planted bulbs, so in all we planted 82 bulbs. We all wondered what that many tulips will look like in the spring.

We recorded the air temperature at 49.5 degrees F and the soil temperature at 64 degrees F. We then wondered why the soil was warmer than the air. We have a lots of questions.
