Amaryllis bulbs were donated to the Kindergarten classrooms by one of our Vice Principals early January. The children's curiosity was peaked as they observed these bulbs. The children sketched the bulbs in their Inquiry books, and discussed
with their peers what these bulbs could be? Many children thought that
it would grow to become a flower.
The children were asked what we should do with the bulbs and many felt we should plant them in soil and give it water so it could grow.

We labelled the different pots with the types of bulbs we had planted The children predicted that big bulbs would grow big flowers, and the different colours of the bulb meant the flowers would be different colours.
We had some left over bulbs and we asked the children what we should
do with them. One student wanted to place the bulb in just water with no
soil and see what would happen.
And then they wanted to leave one bulb in a container and save it so they can plant it in the Spring.
