Let's Think About Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus...what's the first thing you think of when you hear this name? First American explorer, of course. The Pinta, the Nina, and the Santa Maria.  A few days ago we made this amazing poster full of facts about Christopher Columbus. There are still  a few things we still wonder. Here are some wonders: What island did he land on?  When was the storm that sank the Santa Maria?

Here is our poster of facts about Christopher  Columbus.

You probably thought Columbus landed first, but the vikings found America a decade before him.
Look at these great facts that our own classmates wrote.

These facts came out of the book Atlas of Exploration. It's a great book.

Here are some other great facts. 

The most interesting and surprising fact we discovered was that Christopher Columbus went to jail after his famous voyages. He was lazy and didn't control the Spanish sailors in the New World.
