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.
