Congratulations to the
winners for the Shooting Star certificate for the most stem growth from February
19 to February 26!
At LECC Take
me out to the BULB game (aka Nigel)
in Ms.
McGillis’ class grew 4.5 inches.
At LPS
Godzilla in Mrs. Hohlbein’s class grew 4.5 inches.
At LES
Emerald in Mrs. Payne’s class grew 6 inches.
Report the length of your
longest leaf on March 5 to be eligible
for the Best Fed Bulb
certificate.
Although most plants are showing a bud (some
have two!), some plants have only
beautiful leaves at this point. Ask your students why. Some possibilities -
the plant inside was very small to
start and still needs time to develop, or the plant inside didn’t develop at the
end of the bulb’s
last cycle. The leaves are still important,
though, to keep feeding the bulb.
Remember to track growth to the nearest ½ inch starting from the top of the neck
of your bulb. Follow this link to
Granny’s Great Amaryllis Race for grade-by-grade lessons that have ideas for
extending curriculum connections. Please contact
Jody if you have any questions along the way.
