Colorado Teacher Combines Physical Education, History Of The Titanic

The Denver Post (4/13, Simpson) reports that teacher Laurie Gaudreault at Adams 12's McElwain Elementary in Welby, Colorado, built a physical education class around the Titanic. Her week-long program involves the entire gym and almost all of its equipment, as well as reading, props, and costumes. After learning about the history of the ship, the kids go through an obstacle course then don period clothing associated with specific characters and read about the character.
