Columbus Day at the Gulfport Temporary Library


The Columbus Day celebration on Saturday was lots of F.U.N.!
The Mad Professor brought his half-finished model of the Santa Maria (with working lights in the captain's and crew quarters).
Two books about Columbus were read and discussed, including "Follow the Dream" by Peter Sis.
Then we built some boats out of old file folders, straws and construction paper. Afterwards a boat race was held outside in the Mad Professor's inflatable pond.
Story time ended with a literal bang of Diet coke and mentos!
