We are still studying the Age of Exploration using the Christian Cottage study and the History Scribe notebooking pages. We've been reading a book called Around the World in 100 Years which was very entertaining. Yesterday, we finished up talking about Columbus and talked about Magellan. We read a poem by Ogden Nash about Columbus. Here's an excerpt.
So Columbus said, Somebody show me the sunset and somebody did
and he set sail for it,
And he discovered America and they put him in jail for it,
And the fetters gave him welts,
And they named America after somebody else.
The kids wrote some Christopher Columbus quotes and made a notebooking page about Columbus. Here's my favorite Christopher Columbus quote:
"For the execution of the voyage to the Indies, I did not make use of intelligence, mathematics or maps. "
We're having a good time with this study.
