One of our projects this week was making maps of the continents and
oceans. (Ask your Explorer to sing you the song we learned to memorize
the continents; we'll be performing this with the Navigators at
Gathering next week.) Note the beautiful details like compass roses,
sailing ships, sea serpents and other mythical creatures ("Beyond here
there be dragons"). We folded this map in the center to show how the
early explorers thought they would sail from Europe to the Indies and
then ran into the New World instead -- Surprise! Just goes to show that
sometimes mistakes can lead to amazing discoveries.
