On Friday they had each received a boarding pass and bio of the character they must play.
The twins' bios said they were siblings on the Titanic, having just left England where their father (a university professor) had finished up the semester and was taking them back to New York. They were reading in their bunks when they heard a bump and noise outside the cabin. When they went to see what it was, they were quickly bundled off to a lifeboat. Their father had to wait until women and children were safe before he could join them. Sadly, they never saw him again.
Oh they couldn't wait to get to school on Monday. They both dressed their nicest.
In class they were served by white-shirted 4th graders, who each told their own sad story into the microphone before serving them their appetizers. Some passengers were 1st class and were served right off the bat, then 2nd class, then the poor 3rd class passengers got what was left. Dinner was Swedish meatballs, Norwegian potatoes and corn casserole.
After dessert, the teacher dropped a huge bucket of ice and yelled, "Every man for himself!" Twin girl says they all screamed and ran out onto the playground.
What a day to be a child.

my word - I love that teacher and I love that school
I love the expression on "twin girl's" face, haha :)
What a cool idea though!
That's the kind of teacher I want to be!
Cool, that sounds like fun
The thing I noticed about these teachers is that they do the same thing every year. Middle child had the same teacher and was so sad that she couldn't be at the Titanic party because she remembered it. That must make it sort of easy when you do the same thing year in and year out. That's why I exhausted myself as a teacher. I could never stand to do the same thing. :-/ Yeah I love these teachers!!! Blue Ribbon school - yeah!
