I had some more Ellis Island photos to share. I don't want to miss recording this important day! Finn and his classmates reenacted the process that immigrants went through when they came the the United States. They had to dress the part of an early 1900's immigrant.
They had a briefcase with a passport, foreign money and a few trinkets from "home". Each child went through the process of changing their names, exchanging their money, buying a train ticket and going through a medical exam.
Afterwards they brought food and other artifacts to their room where they had to make a speech in front of all of the parents. Finn did great. It was very fun to see months and months of research come together for this amazing day. Thanks, to Grandma for helping Finn with his research.
