Columbus Day

Today, in pre-kindergarten we talked about Christopher Columbus. I shared with the students that in 1492, he founded America. We discussed how he might have gotten to America from Europe. Their answers were too funny not to share. Here are some pre-kindergartners' ideas for how Columbus might have arrived in America:
  • motorcycle
  • walked
  • ran
  • cruise ship
  • airplane
  • giant bus
  • horse
  • car
  • train
  • bicycle
The children learned that he came in 3 ships: The Nina, The Pinta, and The Santa Maria. Quiz them today and see if they remember!
