Long weekend marking marathon!

Here's a few highlights from my marking marathon this weekend...the projects are so good, its taking me so long to read them! Great job folks.

Boxes of projects, there's another box at school that's already been marked!

This one made me laugh out loud a number of times! Well done JG!

This one had lots of neat details throughout the project, lots of fun to read. Awesome JvE!

I still have many more to mark and many more highlights to come!

Happy Easter/Long Weekend!

Update!
