Meet Edward Beane!! He 32 years old in 1912 and was traveling on the Titanic from England with his wife Ethel. He was a 2nd Class passenger who survived in Lifeboat #H..
The entire 3rd grade did an enrichment program - they learned about the Titanic, were assigned a person to be and learned to waltz... Then they all met at one school for a ball this morning... I am still trying to find out WHY they learn about the Titanic but overall it was really interesting and the kids really did learn some history... Thinking about it, it's a great way to get the kids interested in and retaining history facts...
