Easter Around the World Research –

It would have been our class assembly this week and we had a few ideas already for it. I’d like you to choose a country and research about how they celebrate Easter. Do they have the same traditions? You can design poster, a powerpoint, or a word document. Look forward to seeing what you find out.
