I Am Christopher Columbus

I am Christopher Columbus.
I am an explorer (I explored my classroom when I first came to Kindergarten).
I hope to learn new things (reading, writing, math, social studies, science, art, music, computer, PE).
I am on a constant journey (to learn SO many new things this year).
I can use tools to help me on my journey (pencils, crayons, clip boards, flip books, dice, unifix cubes, books, 10 frames…).
I can find treasures (great books in the library, a neat rock outside, wonderful friendships).
I am Christopher Columbus!

This isn’t a true “I Am” poem in the “poetic world”, but it shares the importance of what the kids are learning. We have had a fun time learning all about Christopher Columbus this week. Though he wasn’t really the first person to discover America, he showed us the character trait of persistence - staying true to your goal. Learning that it is important to have a goal, to try your hardest to meet that goal, and to celebrate when you reach that goal is something that we hope the kids will always remember!
