Today, our 2nd grade students took a step back in time and experienced what it might have been like to be an immigrant coming to America through Ellis Island between the 1880s and 1920s! From baggage check 🧳 to health inspections 🩺, naturalization 📜, currency exchange 💰, and even detainment 🚫—our students journeyed through each station to finally become approved to enter the United States of America! 🎉 It was an unforgettable, hands-on way to bring history to life. What a fun and educational day to be in second grade! ❤️ #EllisIslandExperience #MemorialElementary #HandsOnHistory #SecondGradeRocks Thank you to our volunteer community members who came and helped with our event.
