Immigration Simulation.....

Hello parents of 6th graders.

On Tuesday the 20th, our students will go through Ellis Island (located for this occasion in our B Gym). Students should come dressed-up to play their part. Boys can wear dark pants, preferably dark shoes, white shirt, a dark suit jacket or a vest, and mostly a hat / cap. Girls can wear long skirts and a white blouse, shawls or scarves. Hair can be braided or in a bun. Anything that will remind late 1800's or early 1900's. Don't forget to bring a piece of luggage. A big basket, a very old leather looking suitcase, a sac made of cloth, or just a small blanket rolled-up and held with ropes or belts. If needed, students can dress-up at school. We will do the activity during 3rd period.
