FUN FINALS!!
















An Oxymoron?!....Not in Mrs. Slade's class!!!!...










Here are my fun 8th graders during our final hours. Instead of a written test each group had to develop a review game for a unit we had studied during the year.










Fun huh? And yet it was their final. Not all of my classes were so lucky, but I didn't take pictures of them because they would be boring!
