and looking through our Titanic display.  An amazing ship, and such a tragic turn of events.  We will learn about some of the survivors, and also about Morse Code.  This site provides some great help in learning and understanding Morse Code, we will even practice with it! =)

This fun book, is also about a ship that sank, and is based on a true story.

It's a very cute story about circus animals that sought refuge in a coastal town after their ship sank, and how the townspeople come to their rescue.  Love it! The illustrations are AMAZING, thank you Chris!
