Titanic
On April 14th, 1912 at 11:40 p.m., the RMS Titanic experienced a catastrophic event that ultimately led to its demise three hours later at 2:20 a.m. on April 15th. The largest ship of its time disappeared beneath the ice-cold surface of the Atlantic Ocean, taking with it over 1500 lives, which accounted for more than two-thirds of all the people on board. The commonly held belief was that the ship had collided with an iceberg, but recent findings by scientists have debunked this theory. The Titanic was an impressive feat of engineering, measuring 882 feet 9 inches long, 92 feet wide, and 175 feet tall, with a usable volume of 46,000 328 tons. The ship had four massive smokestacks, each weighing 60 tons and extending 81.5 feet above the deck. The cost of the ship's construction was 7.5 million dollars, which, when adjusted for modern exchange rates and inflation in 2016, would be equivalent to 166 million dollars. The ship was built by 3,000 men working six days a week from 6:00 in the morning, and it took 26 months to complete. Unfortunately, eight people died during the building process, and 246 were injured.

The importance of history
Stories and fairy tales in early childhood education are extremely important, as they always contain a problem or a drama to be solved, but the child does not perceive this so seriously, but is already learning to face life in a playful way. It's simple; children often even put themselves in the shoes of the characters in the stories, experiencing what happens in them. According to Abramovich (2006, p 16), “It is important for the formation of any child to hear many stories. And listening to them is the beginning of learning, to be a reader and to have an absolutely infinite path of discoveries and understanding of the world”.
