Last Friday at our Early Education Center, the teachers planned a fun
activity that involved: 1) A Cultural Lesson about Easter and 2) Chocolate.
Predictably, everyone LOVED it.
While the students were out at recess around 10:30, a couple of the
teachers were busy hiding chocolate eggs all over the classroom. During
circle time, one of the teachers explained the Easter Egg Hunt tradition, and
told the students that they would be participating in their very own Easter Egg
Hunt in just a few minutes.
The excitement was palpable!
Everybody grabbed their adorable little baskets, which had been made
from paper cups and then decorated. And the egg hunt began!
The kids had a blast looking through all the nooks and crannies of the
classroom and finding treasures hidden there.
Ya proudly holds up her prize!
Shan drops another chocolate egg in his basket.
And Ming finds one near the bookshelf!
In just twenty minutes, all the eggs had been found. The teachers set
their full baskets aside to bring home later.
When getting on the school bus to go home after the day ended, their
teacher Maria reminded them not to eat any of their eggs on the bus, but to
wait until they'd arrived home. All the kids dutifully followed her
instructions. And when they did get to their stop, where their foster parents
were waiting for them, many of these kids held out their baskets to their
foster mommas.
"I saved you some chocolate!" they said.
It doesn't get much better than that.
