In honor of Columbus Day, we are giving you a snapshot
look at the largest cathedral in the world, the Seville Cathedral, located in
Seville, Spain. Seville is a beautiful city with many sights along cobblestoned
streets with the cathedral being one of its biggest attractions.
In this cathedral is the tomb/monument that houses the
remains of Christopher Columbus. Thanks to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of
Spain, Christopher Columbus is one of our most famous historical figures. He is
also well known in other countries too. It is usually packed around his
monument!
Why Christopher Columbus? Why he helped to discover
the Americas of course! Elementary school children are fascinated about this
explorer who traveled across the ocean looking for riches and ended up
discovering the New World. We love the many activities that are available to
help young children understand this concept and get their “explorer” on. So
take a voyage with your students and Christopher Columbus this week, traveling
from Spain and across the ocean to discover the New World!
