Students Making History

Hello There!

In Miscellaneous on April 9, 2009 at 11:30 am

We are a group of Quebec students and teachers blogging about the people, events and places that make up the history of Quebec. We study and report on topics covered by the Quebec School Curriculum but we also do original family history research and examine the lives we lead today.

StarWars LegoDescription: I have two Star Wars Lego video games! These video games play on Playstation 2.  This is a compact disc.The names of these two video games are Lego Star Wars the Video game and Lego Star Wars II The Original Trilogy

Did Legos exist?
