Teaching Christopher Columbus in the Primary Grades

An American Christian Approach for Teaching
Christopher Columbus in the Primary Grades
By Jeanette S. Whittaker and Ruth J. Smith

Using the d'Aulaire biography, Columbus, as the textbook for year I, the Guide introduces the significance of Christopher Columbus, the Providential timing of exploration, the joys of discovery, and many applications for daily living. During year II, the students read Meet Christopher Columbus. The Guide highlights how God used an unusual event to put ColuUsmbus in exactly the right place; Columbus's remarkable voyage when he was laughed at, ignored and all alone; and the undaunted dedication of a lifetime which enabled Columbus to overcome many obstacles.
