Well today is Columbus Day in the United States. Today is the day we honor Christopher Columbus and his discovery of America. Although my oldest daughter will remind you that others found this area before Mr. Columbus, thank you history for that lesson!
So what did you do in your home school for Columbus Day?
Today for us we read some books about Columbus and his travels. We set up a ship and went on our own discovery of America in the living room. We made paper boats as well as Columbus hats.
I believe all holiday's should be studied and incorporated into our home school, this is just one way to help make history relevant to today's world.
So in honor of today......HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY!
Oh and for any readers from Canada....HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
