Paperwhite Progress

The children were very excited to sprout and grow their own paperwhite bulbs.  We have had bulbs in various stages of growth for all of February. A few bulbs are still waiting to wake up but we haven't lost hope. The photos below show the stages we have observed, sketched, painted and written about.

This shows the stages of growth we have observed
