Journey North Tulip Garden Project

This week, we planted 50 Red Emperor tulip bulbs for a Journey North project.  The students will be scientists for the next few months.  They will watch the weather, check the temperature, make observations, and keep a journal. 

I am encouraging the students to plant some tulip bulbs at home, so we can compare the growth.  As a class, we will be comparing our tulip garden to other classes across the country.

We can't wait for the tulips to bloom in the spring.  We're hoping the squirrels will fill up on acorns, and leave our bulbs alone.
