Wow! Our 3rd graders were very excited to have our first tulip bloom practically under their noses. It wasn't open this morning, but when the sun came out after 12 noon, it opened. Today we had a field trip to the Missouri Botanical Gardens to observe and draw their bulb gardens. We took jeweler's loupes with us, and our drawings, observations, and reflections were wonderful. Returning from the field trip to find our first tulip in bloom was a spectacular way to end the day.They re-examined their predictions..they were excited about discussing data!!!
