My Project

This past year I had a group of first grade students who were obsessed with all things Titanic - they have exhausted what books the library has on the subject. At the end of the school year they begged me to have new Titanic books for the next school year. Several of these students are reluctant readers, and it was really exciting to see them so interested in history and reading books like crazy!

Having books such as "Story of the Titanic," "Eyewitness Titanic" and "If You Were a Kid Aboard the Titanic" would really fuel their interest and hopefully inspire them to become lifelong readers and history lovers.

In addition to being a part of the library's circulating collection, I would also use these resources to support a history club I will be offering for second grade students.
