Planting Tulips

Monday I helped Ethan's kindergarten class plant tulip bulbs in the school flower garden. The school theme this year is Go make disciples of all nations... and each class has a different country for the theme. Ethan's class has the country of Holland. That is why we did the service project of planting tulips - a dutch flower.

Ethan's group was the first group outside. They dug a hole in the shape of a cross for to plant the tulip bulbs in.

You can see the shape of a cross.

The second and third groups planted the bulbs. They used sticks to make a grid for planting the bulbs. This was something new to me, I usually just dig a hole and shove the bulbs in. It went pretty well and the kids had a great time in the 70 degree weather!

The kids made scarecrows a couple weeks ago. When they weren't planting bulbs they were taking apart the scarecrows.
