Just in time! The weather today was cloudy with a temperature of 14 degrees celsius. The children and our school's adopted grandmother (she loves working in the garden) planted 25 Red Emperor tulip bulbs in a warm bed for the winter. It looks like winter might arrive early in Winnipeg, Manitoba this year. The weather forecast for the weekend is wet snow. We've had a few nights below 0 degrees but no hard frost yet.
The grade 3 Manitoba Science curriculum has changed this year and two of our clusters are plants and soil. We are enjoying finding out about parts of plants and their functions. The children thought disecting bulbs was great and very interesting, especially discovering the flower bud. We're going to try planting some crocus bulbs in the grassy area in front of our school.We have a lot to look forward to in the spring.
