The internet was down all day at school today; therefore, there wasnt much work for me to do during my planning period. I decided to read this book from my classroom library instead. #TeachersOfLitsy

I was told there were some books up for grabs in one of the teacher lounge rooms. I found some treasures to add to my ever-growing classroom library.💚😍

This short novel is “I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912” by Lauren Tarshis. One of the several in her series, this HF text brings an engaging approach for students to read about things that really happened in our history. Teaching Strategies: LC, IR. UDL: 3.3 Show students the actual Titanic ship (virtually). EL: 5. Teach student vocabulary related to the event.

gabbymartin Website: https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/lesson-plans/teaching-content/educators-guid... excellent teacher guide for this book and others in the “I Survived” series!!! 5y
DrSpalding I love all things Titanic! It‘s a fascinating historical event. I have read several books in the series and find them valuable to connect reading and social studies. Scholastic is an excellent resource. 5y

#lae3414sp19 This HF novel by Lauren Tarshis was recently introduced to me by the 3rd grader that I nanny. I have quickly become hooked on this series and frequently read them alongside her. Historical information is presented through a firsthand account of someone who is “there” during this monumental moment in history. Because the main character George is only 10, many children are fascinated by someone their age going through this experience.

mluter I would love using this independent read book and connecting it to teaching students about the Titanic in general. Reading this outside of the classroom will educate students and give them knowledge that they can refer back to when learning more about the history of this tragic event. This link has great science activities that are related to the sinking of the titanic as well as a writing assignment where you research a fake titanic passenger 5y
mluter http://www.teachingwithamountainview.com/2015/03/titanic-lessons-experiments-act... UDL 3.1 because students will have a greater understanding of the Titanic after reading this book. ESOL strategy 32 will be used by partnering and grouping students to complete all science and writing assignments 5y
DrSpalding The idea of using this as an independent reading is a good one. While this is historical information, I can‘t think of a particular standard that this would meet in the social studies classroom however reading these books could get them into reading the entire series which enhances reading stamina and of course helps them to become proficient readers. 5y

I feel like I'm drowning in sadness for my country right now, so I've decided to find the one thing I can do each day to make a tiny difference for someone.

Today it was finding a new distribution site for my TurnAround book program. Our library redistributes children's books that are donated/withdrawn or purchased with grants out to sites in the community we've identified as serving "at risk" families. The books are free.

ValerieAndBooks A very good cause! 7y
