Today, students in Ms. Sarmatiuk’s Life Skills Science Integration class at St. Charles College enjoyed a sweet and surprising lesson in “Marshmallow Farming” to celebrate April Fools’ Day!

The class kicked off with a fun discussion and video presentation on how to plant a Marshmallow Bush, leading students to believe they would be growing their very own marshmallow crops. They even got hands-on by attempting to plant “marshmallow seeds” in class.

But, as you may have guessed, this was all part of an April Fools’ Day joke! The students quickly learned that sometimes things aren’t as they seem, and they couldn’t trust everything they read or see online. The lesson today? Always approach information with a little skepticism—especially on April Fools’ Day!

Happy April Fools!
