Spring has sprung in Room 8...or Hippity Hoppity Easter's on its way!

Easter...Spring...what a wonderful time of year! We started off with our Spring pictures. Some Room 8'ers really dressed up for the occasion...new clothes, new haircuts, new styles!



On Friday morning, we hid eggs for our little buddies out in the garden. Mrs. Friedman gave us the eggs. It was a beautiful day...













Nikkiah REALLY wanted to have an Easter party in Room 8. We had a few treats coming in from parents that we were going to eat during our movie. (We watched the movie version of Roald Dahl's book, The Witches, which we had just finished reading.) Well, Nikkiah organized a little candy hunt for our class. She came prepared with little zip-lock bags with each students name + "Happy Easter" + a drawing of an Easter egg! She also told me she "sent her mom shopping" for candy...eggs, kisses, and little bars. After lunch on Friday, Nikkiah rounded up her "helpers" and they hid candy all over the room. Then Nikkiah figured out how many pieces each student could have. She wrote the directions on the board and announced it to everyone before they came in. It was simple and fun...and the comments I heard from room 8'ers was how much fun it was! Thank you, Nikkiah!
