Columbus Day has been observed on the second Monday of October since 1937, and it's meant to commemorate Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas in 1492. But, what's really interesting is that many people are now using this day to learn about the rich history and cultures of the indigenous peoples who were already living in the Americas. You can use this day to explore and learn more about the fascinating stories of these communities!
So, do you have school on Columbus Day? The answer is... it depends! Some schools might be closed, while others will be open for business as usual. But, either way, you can still use this day to learn something new and have some fun while doing it. Why not try reading a book, watching a documentary, or even cooking a traditional meal from one of the indigenous cultures?
