...Ninety-Two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue!
We managed to squeeze some extra time in for this...
All worksheets were from Enchanted Learning
so cute!
We also listened to an mp3 audio download from Freebie of the Day, You Are There! Columbus Discovers America!
Imagine what it would have been like had radio reporters tracked Columbus' voyage! You can in this "radio report"!
It was really awesome. I think I may have appreciated it more than the kids though. During some 'interviews' you'll recognize some people in history and you'll even hear from a priest who administered Holy Communion to the crew and graced them with Benediction. Not something you're going to hear in our modern world!
I must say, it did stir me a bit in all their excitement when LAND!! was discovered :)
Hope your Columbus Day was filled with your own discoveries!
