On October 27th, we presented our Saint Projects to the class. Most of of dressed up like our saints! We learned a lot of good information from one another. After each presentation, we asked A LOT of good questions about the saints. Some we had to look up the answers to, some were able to be answered right away. You can see a tidbit of information about each of the saints below. Ms. Stephanie took notes about what we presented.
