Social Studies

Students got to step into the shoes of a US immigrant this week!  Miss Flynn helped us to understand what it might have been like to be an immigrant in the early 1900s through an immigration simulation activity.  

Boarding the "train" to travel to the ship that would take them to the US
 The train ride . . .


Prior to boarding the ship to travel to the US, immigrants had to fill out paperwork/legal documents . . .
Students discovered it was very difficult to fill out immigration paperwork in a "different" language (webdings!)
