Leaves turn, tulip planting time!

Leaves are turning, mind you a little early, but that means it's time to get ready to plant our tulips. For the past 3 years I have involved my 3rd graders in a project that looks at how weather patterns, seasonal changes, and temperature variances affect the growth of tulips. This is a global project that takes place through the Journey North program.  You can take a peek at what the kids are in store for at  http://www.learner.org/jnorth/tulip/index.html.  Watch for our photos as we document our own journey with the help of Mr. Swanson, Rothschild Schools resident gardener!
