Welcome to ELLIS ISLAND! 3rd grade students are embarking on a journey this week to discover what it was like to be an immigrant passing through Ellis Island in the 1900s. Students prepared for the journey by creating suitcases filled with their most precious belongings and important documents. As then entered the immigration station on Ellis Island, they were greeted by officers and medical examiners to determine if they were well suited to become American citizens. It's been a fun few days, to say the least!!
