Making spring daffodils in the Middle Classroom

With spring slow to arrive with snow and frost forecast, the Middle classroom decided to make their own daffodils and create their own bright springlike display.  Using paints and egg cartons, they painted the egg carton shapes and stuck them to their paintings which were prepared earlier.
