Today we are going to have a special computer time to look at this website about Ellis Island. We are also going to do a VERY FUN simulation as if we were coming to America and going through Ellis Island to immigrate to America.
What is an immigrant?
What is a citizen?
How much money did you need to have to get into America in 1908?
Could you get into America if you were sick?
Did you make it to America today during our simulation? Tell your family about your "Trip".
If you didn't make it why were you shipped back to your country? Did anyone in your "pretend family" make it?
Did anyone in your family pass through Ellis Island?
Comment about Ellis Island on this blog over the weekend and receive extra credit in social studies. :)

About Me
This is my 9th year teaching in the Amphitheater School District and my 11th year teaching. I taught 3rd grade at Painted Sky for 7 years. Before teaching there I taught music for 2 years in TUSD at Henry. I am so happy to be a Walker Wolf this year!
I attended college at the University of Arizona and have my bachelors in Education. I am working on my master’s degree this year also at the University of Arizona. GO WILDCATS!!! I am a huge AZ basketball fan. I am an Amphitheater High School grad and I attended middle school at La Cima. In November 09 I achieved my National Board Teaching Certification. I have teaching endorsements in Early Childhood education and Second Language Learning.
I love living in Arizona and have since 1993. I was born in Phoenix but only lived there for 2 1/2 months. Before moving back to Arizona I lived in Nebraska for 9 years and attended Westridge Elementary and Elkhorn Middle School. My extended family lives on the east coast in The Washington DC area. As a kid my family visited there every summer and spent a week at the beach in North Carolina. I love the beach. I still get to go back and visit all the time.
I live in the middle of town, near the U of A. I live with my VERY cute puppy Oreo who is 4. My mom, dad and brother live here in Tucson also. My mom sometimes comes to school and helps in the classroom and my Dad and brother may come by too. My birthday is December 3!
I love monkeys, music and smiley faces. My favorite color is green. I enjoy listening to music on the radio and listening to live bands. Music is one of my favorite things to do. I love to sing songs and play the guitar, flute and keyboard. Many of you know that I play in a band on the weekends!

Dear Miss Tracy
ReplyDeleteI did not have any people in my family that wrote in their journal about going through Eillis Island. If we did have people in our family that did that would be cool!
