FREE SOCIAL STUDIES LESSON - “Columbus Day Webquest”

by MrsTech
2nd - 5th Grade

With Columbus Day being the second Monday in October - this is the perfect activity to use with you middle elementary students to learn about Columbus - who he is, what he did, and why we celebrate this holiday.

Both sections have kid friendly websites linked at the top for students to research. Simply print off the PDF, and have students use the class devices (or computers in the lab) to read the information and answer the questions.

*UPDATE: Webquest has been updated to include access to a Google Slides version of this product!

Pre-Kindergarten - 12th Grade

Did you know that simply looking at cute animals can boost students' relaxation and mental performance? It's true! This free video explains research that demonstrated these effects. Not to mention watching this video will give you a dose of warm and fuzzies too!

Show it to your AP Psychology class or use it as a brain break for your stressed-out students (or yourself, really). Watch and feel the tension just go away!
