Speechless!

Towards the end of the school year, the Grade 1 boys enjoy reading wordless picture books and graphic novels to eachother! It’s always fun to use our imaginations to tell the stories – it’s not always as easy as it sounds to tell the story without words!

I know a lot of boys at Saints who are interested in World War II… they should definitely read more about this story and see some more photographs here: National Geographic Daily News. It’s really remarkable.
