April Fools! Classroom 301 students experienced several “April Fools” shenanigans from their teacher yesterday. A springtime word search that didn’t have any of the listed words in the puzzle; a brain break activity that exposed all the students who didn’t read the directions; and an official state spelling test with some never-before-seen words. A few frustrations but plenty of laughs!
