The giraffes have been showing off their green thumbs this week as our seeds and bulbs have begun to sprout in the classroom and out in our garden!

Many of our bean plants began to sprout out of the soil this week and they are growing FAST! Here are a few of our sprouts and the progress they've made in the last few days:

Jack will be getting to that castle in no time!
We've also been keeping beans in a cup with no soil so we could see what it looks like below the surface as the seed germinates!
We also ventured out to the garden this week to start checking for signs of our tulips that we planted back in October. While we could only see snow on Tuesday...
...we finally found some buds on Friday!!
We're tracking the growth of our tulips along with hundreds of other Citizen Scientists across the country for Journey North. When we were looking at the tracking map, we noticed that many of the tulips that were planted further south had already emerged several weeks ago and many of them have even started to bloom! We planted our bulbs on 10/27/17, so it took just over 5 months for them to emerge from the soil.
Over the next few weeks, we will continue to observe our tulips and we will continue to watch the "spring thaw" on our map! You can check out this project as well as the many other projects Journey North is working on here!
