*Thoughts on Columbus*
We started a conversation in class that Allie brought up: Why do we celebrate Columbus Day? We have been learning about many different points of view on Christopher Columbus, which made us think more deeply about this question.

I wonder why we celebrate Columbus Day myself! Many years ago we thought Columbus discovered America, but now we know that no one needed to discover it- it was already there, and natives were liing here! And even so, the Vikings got here before Columbus. And anyway, Colombus never made it here- he just wound up in the Caribbean Islands. Oh well, what are you going to do....?!!
