Columbus Day Activities
We did a little one day mini unit about Columbus Day and what it is all about. We started out by watching a video about Columbus on BrainPOP. We also played a game and took the quiz on BrainPOP.
Then we made a mini book that I found at Royal Baloo and a couple other free printables from the Columbus Unit she created.
After we finished talking about Columbus and what he did, we made a map to show where he went, using an idea I saw at 2nd Grade Shenanigans.
I drew this (I am clearly not an artist!) on a paper bag and then Rich burned the edges for me to make it look like an old map.
Hailey and Hunter painted their maps.
Completed maps
Hailey and Hunter gluing together a boat for Columbus Day, using an idea I saw at A Cupcake for the Teacher.
Completed Columbus boats. Hailey drew a picture of Columbus in one of the windows on her boat.
