"In October, 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue."
Yeah, we "learned" about him.... or at least a nice little rhyme. [img]wink.gif[/img]
Does your schools teach you about Columbus and all the expeditions in the new world, or they just jump from the vikings to the mayflower ? [img]wink.gif[/img]

History class was an excuse to sleep for me - I don't remember too much of it.
Now Civics class - that one was a killer! The guy teaching it had a wicked aim with rubberbands if you fell a sleep
i didn't pay much attention but i do believe we learned about him [img]wink.gif[/img]
We first learned about him back in some early grade that I vaguely remember.
After the lesson we made cinnamon toast "boats" with paper-and-toothpicks sails stuck in them. This was a way to learn about the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria, and then we ate the fleet.
Either that or there was some subtle lesson about discovering new worlds in relation to a well balance breakfast. If some kid got Montezuma's Revenge out of the deal, it would've been the perfect segue into a lesson of Spain's involvement with the Aztecs.
LMFAO!

I mean these were the teachers that told us Van Gogh cut his ear off over a waitress, not a prostitute. I guess it's fortunate we didn't have a follow-up food fest to go with that story.

All that I recall of Columbus is the rhyme, making a turkey out of a paper plate and my class doing a reinactment of the landing at Plymoth Rock where Tommy Parish, who was playing an Indian, was a bad boy and started hacking at the settlers with his paper tomahawk! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
The parents that were watching seemed amused, the teacher was defintly NOT.
