We have begun to read aloud The Orphan of Ellis Island by Elvira Woodruff. We will be lucky enough to meet her and discuss her book next week. To prepare for her visit we have created passports and discussed traveling to other countries. We have talked about our relatives who may have immigrated to America and entered through Ellis Island. We've shared where our original families may have come from and our nationalities. Parents- please share your family trees and your nationalities with your children (many are not sure). If you have a great family history story to share with the class please let your child know. We'd love to hear it.
