Kyle had a Christopher Columbus project to do for school. He had to make a boat that would float out of recycled materials. They learned all about Christopher Columbus. Kyle retold the cutest story how Christopher Columbus had 3 ships named: Nina, Hina and the Monta Vahina. Whenever we tried to correct him he told us NO, the are called: Nina, Hina and Monta Vahina. So we quit trying to correct him. Eventually, by the time Columbus day rolled around he was actually saying: Nina, Pena and Santa Vahina. Close! He paid attention real well in class. He learned how Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492. When he sailed he thought the Earth was flat but soon found out it was round. He also told us that he sailed around and bumped into the US and before he died he discovered the US! He had many other wonderful facts that I was impressed he remembered and paid so close to the details.
Here are pictures of his finished boat. It was supposed to be a project that parents helped with. Daddy glued the milk carton closed and clamped it. Kyle painted the boat, and the chopsticks which held the sails. I only painted the windows, anchor and USS Kyle, then Daddy just put the sails on. So it truly was a group effort.
The Friday before Columbus day, the Kindergarten classes tested their boats and wheter they would sink or float?
Will it sink or float?
Of course it floated....cardboard floats says Kyle!!!
