Christopher Columbus Unit Study

In this unit study we learned about Christopher Columbus and his journey to America. We also learned a little geography and about some different landforms including peninsulas, islands, and mountains. This unit study is geared for elementary students and has 7 days worth of lessons. I did this unit study with my 1st grader and recommend it for Kindergarten- 3rd grade.

Books can be read by the child or by the parent to the child, depending on the child's reading level. I don't think that a child is ever too old to be read to.
