Ellis Island Field Trip

Today my entire grade went to Ellis Island for a field trip. We went on a ferry to get to Ellis Island so I thought that that was very fun. When we got there we got to wander around the museum for a while and learn about the immigrants coming through Ellis Island. After that we got to go on a tour with a guide that explained everything that happened when people came but in a short story version. Then, we saw a documentary about people coming off the boat and also part of the audio tracks were people who came on a boat to Ellis Island when they were younger. I thought that the documentary was very interesting because it was actual people who went through this this process and this experience.

Also, at Ellis Island you may know that there is a huge wall of names of immigrants who passed through Ellis Island, and my great grandfather passed through Ellis Island and I got to see his name and I thought that that was pretty awesome. Overall, I think that I have learned a lot from going to Ellis Island and that it was a really cool, and interesting trip.
