This week in ELA we are boarding the Titanic. The kids absolutely love this adventure. They will become a passenger on the Titanic for two weeks. They will learn all about the Titanic through fiction and non-fiction books, and we will be engaged in many activities throughout the two week unit. To end this wonderful adventure, we host a Titanic dinner. Our room transforms into the Titanic dining hall, we dress up, and we feast! In order to make this happen, I will need some items donated for this event as well. The dinner will take place on November 10th. If you are able and willing to send in items for the dinner, please follow the link below to sign-up. I will also need two parent helpers for this event. You can e-mail me separately if you are interested. Please understand that you must have a current background check and volunteer training completed to help. The time I would need you would be 12:30-1:30.

I will send out reminders 2 days before the event to those that signed-up for items. Thank you so much!!!! We could not have these awesome experiences without your help!
To make this day complete, the children are encouraged to come dressed in clothing similar to the attire worn on the Titanic. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this event, please do not hesitate to contact me here at school.
