Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus didn't know how to read or write when he was young. He asked the queen for help to sail. He fought in a battle. Christopher Columbus sailed in 1492. He sailed for many days and nights. Lots of people thought he was crazy because they thought he would fall off the world. He wanted to reach the Indies. One of the boats was long. Lots of people wanted him to turn back. Mr. Columbus sailed to the island. He sailed 3 ships to find the new land. The three ships were called the Nina, Pinta, and the Santa Maria. He wanted to find gold and show the king and queen. Christopher Columbus's day is October 12th. We made Columbus hats on Columbus Day. We tried to make them look like his. We're working on a Christopher Columbus paper to color. We read books about Christopher Columbus.

More Sentences

Always put a period after a telling sentences. A sentence always starts with a capital. An exclamation sentence needs to be exciting. Exclamation marks are usually tall. An exclamation can also be like you are frightened. An exclamation mark can also be happy. You can make long sentences. You can make happy sentences. Periods are round. Sentences can be small. It has to make sense. I go to Grandma's house is an example of a sentence. Sentences can be sad. Commands end in periods too. A command makes you do something. A sentence can be about anything. A sentence must have a period, or exclamation mark, or question mark at the end. By Tayler, Katie, Max, Jacob, Zach, Camryn, Aleigh, Corbin, Ana, R.J., Bailey, Shelby, Crystal, Cale
