Columbus Day was last week.
In social studies we studied Columbus and I had the children recite the poem (In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue) to me individually as we created his ship. One boy recites this to me and then says: "Columbus is still alive right?" After explaining to him that he has passed away and that 1492 was a long time ago he then says: "Well that doesn't make sense because my great grandpa is still alive!"
