I remember celebrating Columbus day in Elementary school; we learned about the boats and the great discoveries. But over the years it seems that many of those ideas were reconsidered and most of what I learned wasn't accurate after all. I am a sucker for tradition, though, so we turned Columbus day into Explorer week. Thankfully, with the creation of Dora, the children seemed pretty comfortable with the idea of explorers and adventure.
