Columbus Day Links

Posted on October 5, 2007 by

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.  edhelper -unit for grades 4-7 edhelper -unit for grades 2-4 Columbus Day -info with crossword puzzles and word searches Enchanted Learning -worksheets and activities Kaboose -some activities and recipes Teachervision … Continue reading →

Posted on October 4, 2007 by
