2017 Ellis Island Day

Ellis Island Day is the culmination to the 4th grade unit Coming to America. This unit is taught by our enrichment teacher, Mrs. Speaker, with support from each 4th grade teachers. Students find out where their ancestors originated from, they find out more about that country and then take on the persona of an immigrant arriving to Ellis Island from that country in the year 1917.  The experience for students and teachers is one that will not be forgotten!
