Today in class we learned about the legend of St. George and the dragon. Thanks to Payton and Noah for their presentation of this legend. Especially since it was not planned by them. Boys, thank you for being wiilling to read and perform in front of the class on such short notice! You were great! Also, thanks to Luke for reading us the serious stats about St. George!
Here are your assignments:
