Ellis Island Field Trip

Today the fifth grade went on a field trip to Ellis Island. We had to take a coach bus that took one and a half hours to get to the dock, then we went on a ferry that took 15 minutes and got to Ellis Island. At Ellis Island we looked at exhibits, and watched a movie. For lunch we sat outside with a very good view.  After, we looked at the names of people who went through Ellis Island. We boarded the 1:40  ferry and went back to our school. I think this trip was very fun and also taught a lot about how the immigration people were treated like in Ellis Island.
