Columbus Day Ideas

October 7, 2016 By Aris Leave a Comment

Columbus Day-Sailing into SecondColumbus Day is just around the corner, and If you’re like me and are looking for authentic and true facts to teach your kids, then this mini unit is just for you.

Columbus Day

The informational passages are such a huge hit with my students and I love the quizzes that come with them. The comprehension questions are the perfect way to assess student learning.

Another use for these passages is for oral fluency practice. Once we read the passages together as a whole group, my students pair up and practice reading it out loud to each other.

Using text based evidence is something we are really working hard to master in 3rd grade. Students highlight where we found the evidence in the text.  Any reason to use highlighters makes it even more exciting for them!

Another great resource I’ll be using next week is BrainPOP Jr.’s Columbus Day video!

My kids LOVE when I show a Moby video! BrainPOP has tons of great video resources for all subject matters K-3. They are fun, informative, and have meaningful learning extension activities and quizzes. You can access that video {HERE}, but you’ll need to create an account or start a free trial to watch it.

And I have a special freebie just for you readers. You can grab a sample from my unit Exploring Columbus {Activities for Columbus Day} by clicking on the images below.
