Bloom Amaryllis, Bright and Beautiful

The students have potted their Amaryllis bulbs.  There are a few different kind  such as White Christmas, Cinderella, Apple Blossom and Red Lion.  The students met in small groups with Mrs. Guenther according to their flower type to read the planting and watering directions.  The students also compared the directions for each of the different types of flowers.  They discovered the planting and watering directions were the same.  The students are keeping a journal about the growth of their flowers.  For the first entry, the students wrote down the planting and watering directions.  We also researched how long it will take them to bloom.  It should be between 6 to 8 weeks.  The students also drew pictures of their plants and measured the length of the leaves in order to track the growth of their plants. Thank you so much for purchasing the bulbs for our final project for the flowering plant unit.  Our room should be ablazed with beautiful, colorful flowers in December.
