The girls have had a wonderful time learning about the process of immigration in the early part of the twentieth century. As they concentrated on the journey of Rifka, the Russian immigrant in our class book, they investigated the reasons why millions of people left Europe for the freedom that awaited them in America. They read, researched and took notes from many books and websites. In culmination of the unit, the girls decided that they wanted to simulate the process of immigration. The stories and memorabilia that they shared, much of it from your families, provided an incredible learning experience for all of them.
