The Columbus Foundation provides tours of historical replicas of The Nina and The Pinta. They crew members actually live on these ships and when they dock at ports they allow visitors to step aboard and learn how Christopher Columbus and his crew would have lived while exploring new lands.
They were docked in Jupiter in the Spring of 2019 so we went with our Classical Conversations Group. It was a great way to bring our curriculum to life. The ships are a sight to see and the crew members were so delightful and very engaging with the children. |
I had visited Mounts Botanical years prior when they hosted the Lego brick creations. It is very peaceful to walk through. Parents Educating Children organized this visit which included a tour and a lesson on how to plant tomatoes. My son and I turned this experience into a little scavenger hunt since were were studying the differences between a monocot and dicot. |
