Ms. Schnell's 1 st grade class was "egged"  this Easter season.  Twelve eggs were secretly hidden, sending the students on an Easter egg hunt.  Each egg contained a picture or symbol of the Easter story, inviting each class to re-tell the story of Easter and discuss what each egg represented.  It was a great way for the students to tell what they remember from the Easter Story, and re-tell it in a fun and engaging way.
