Tulips at Home/School


Parents were inquiring with me about purchasing tulips to plant at home.  Please don't stress over finding the Red Emperor Tulips OR even having to do this project at home.  What is most important is that you inquire with your child about the planting their doing at school and the changes that occur throughout the year. Feel free to visit the website for great videos, maps, and stories from kids all around the world Journey North Tulip Website.  If you have extra tulips lying around (no matter what kind) have your child plant with you this fall!  After dissecting a tulip bulb last week and learning about tulip parts and function, students headed outside this afternoon to begin planting! While some students think that the tulips will emerge in January, others are sure of a May bloom.  We will be observing the gardens outside of the school where we planted to track the changes we observe over time in our Tulip Test Garden Science Journals.
