Treasure

I was walking down the hall when I passed one of the jr. kindergarten classes.  Every single four or five year old in that line excitedly exclaimed that it was egg day.  I look at the teacher with a curious look and she explained the duck eggs came in the mail and they were placing them in the incubator today.  I could tell by their excited faces that today was a really big deal.  

As I was walking back to the art room after supervising middle school break, I saw both jr. kindergarten classes huddled around a teacher sitting at a green table.  Realizing I had a few extra minutes before my next class I popped in to see the excitement of egg day first hand.  The four and five year olds were excitedly planning the names of each egg as a middle school helper carefully took the eggs from the box and handed them to their teacher, who marked them, and carefully placed them in the incubator.  Those eggs were treasures to the young learners.
