CLOSED-American Explorers
Join me as we travel back through time and join the Vikings as they landed on the shores of North America. We will be journeying along with Columbus, Lewis and Clark (and others), and the important people who helped them become successful. We will learn why their discoveries were important and the impact they made!
Note to parents: While I will not dive into the deeper part of the story of Columbus, I will address that while he did great things, he was a sinner too. The best thing we can do is learn from history, condemn the actions, and now that we know better, we can be better.
