Columbus Day

I have become quite a pinterest addict {you can follow me by clicking the red button to the right}.  I can't believe it took me this long to discover it!  The only bad part is... I have been spending way too much time browsing other people's boards.  

I'm sure I'm not the only one who saw these super Columbus Day jello boats on pinterest {thank you Lindsey!}.  

I am in love with them, and will definitely be making them to go along with a simple Columbus Day activity.  So... I made these sails to print off and attach to them.  I think it makes them a little more informational.  :)

Happy Columbus Day!

We didn't do much to celebrate Columbus Day. I gave them a coloring page to work on as they came in this morning. Then we looked through some past Weekly Reader's I had about Christopher Columbus and did the activities that went along with them. Pretty simple. Due to lack of time (a constant issue this year) we didn't do a fun craft or activity, but I thought I would include a picture of one I've done in the past.


Maybe next year! At least the children learned who he was and why we celebrate him. :)
