The Fifth Graders were challenged with a Math Problem:

How many different ways can you create equal rows of 120 bulbs?

They worked in teams, used their knowledge of arrays, showed their work, drew up their plans and presented them to their classmates. The class voted on their favorite layout, and the winning team came up with an astounding amount of different ways to arrange 120 bulbs. On Dec 2^nd the fifth graders planted all 120 bulbs in the east garden of the front entrance. We are looking forward to seeing the flowers blooming in March! Great Job!

I followed Class 123 as they planted bulbs in the garden. How did we get the bulbs? They were paid for by the grants and the balance by the PTA. It works out perfect because bulbs are part of the 2^ndgrade science curriculum. The students adored digging holes and learning the proper way to plant a bulb. Thanks to all the parents and donors who made this event possible! We can’t wait to see the all the beautiful flowers in the spring!
