[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, while associated with Easter, eggs/egg hunts are not part of any official religious Easter celebration. So, I think you could just relax and let the kids have fun.[/quote]

Ummnmm. Easter is a religious holiday, and eggs/egg hunts are indeed part of church sponsored religious celebrations. So, I think you could try not centering yourself and policing people who are not Christian from worrying about religion in public schools. Yikes![/quote]

It's pagan, and while the tradition itself has been co-opted as part of Christian Easter celebrations, an egg hunt itself is not religious.  This isn't happening in our class, so I can't be sure, but I would imagine the teacher could incorporate all sorts of learning with such an activity (counting, sorting, fine motor, etc).  I am not Christian, and if this were happening in my kid's class I would think it was cute.  But if you think it's inappropriate, by all means raise it with the teacher, but before doing so, maybe examine if it is really worth stopping this.[/quote]
