I found these sites in my travels the other day and thought they may be of some interest to someone who may be doing a short study of Columbus Day. I decided to omit the ones that argue against Columbus and went with the more basic, traditional views.

Wanted to let you know that my dc are doing the assignments from your Oct Writing prompts calender. I actually had my dd start a blog ( that I monitor closely) so she can post them, after she writes them on paper, along with a few other things about her days. If you would, stop by her little blog and check it out. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Animalfriend98 Thanks so much for sharing these calenders.
Have a blessed weekend.
