Last Friday, Mrs. Marshall and I played a practical joke on the students as an early April Fool’s joke. The students went back in history and worked by light of lanterns. We told the students that the lights went out. They experienced how difficult it must have been to work by candle light. After I finished reading a book about April Fool’s Day, Mrs. Marshall turned on the lights. APRIL FOOLS! The students were in shock. The students were trying to think of good April Fool’s jokes they could play on their parents. I stressed to them that any April Fool’s joke must be safe.
