Gracyn and I read about Christopher Columbus today in honor of Columbus Day. We made a caravel for her classroom and began a small flip book that turns into a ship like his, the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. Gracyn answered some reading comprehension questions afterwards. She earned extra credit by contributing her coloring page of Donald Trump to our election wall. She wanted to see pictures of Trump and then added kisses to his face which were supposed to be from Hillary Clinton! We discussed election day and added to illustrations in her classroom with reminders of 1492, the year Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
