Immigrant Bazaar

Today, Thursday, the students (immigrants) put on an international bazaar.  Each group had a booth to represent the culture of the country they had just emigrated from.

Ellis Island

On Tuesday, our 8th grade students did a simulation of what it was like to be an immigrant going through Ellis Island.  Most students played the role of immigrants from various nations with hopes of entering America.  Other students played the role of processors, determined to only let the worth immigrants enter.

Groups of immigrants waiting to enter Ellis Island:

These doctors are making sure that the immigrants are healthy enough to enter America.

Civil War

Last week we were delighted to invite Dr. Wells back to Stone Valley.  He presented many interesting facts, uniforms, supplies, weapons and stories from the Civil War.
