Immigration Simulation Day: Thursday, February 25, 2016
On Thursday, February 25th, our class will be taken back in time to the days of immigration at Ellis Island during the late 1800s-early 1900s. Students are encouraged to dress in period clothing for this reenactment. Possible ideas include:
-shawls, long skirts, and sweaters for girls
-trousers, suit jackets, hats (NOT baseball caps) for boys
-ALL clothing should be earth tone colors, old fashion patterns, or faded/muted colors
-Dig through all closets in your household to try to find some items to wear
-Don’t feel like you need to purchase anything. If so, keep in mind thrift stores.
-Feel free to look online for ideas for clothing.
**Please note that we may be using chalk to mark clothing during the simulation.
We need parent volunteers to help make this day possible. Volunteers would need to dress in period clothing and simply show up on time. Volunteers will need to dress as an official: dark pants & button up shirt. All directions & materials will be ready for you. Please show up around 7:30, so we can set everything up for the simulation and prepare. The simulation should end by 11:20 (we’ll let you know if the time changes) at the latest for lunch time. Please help us make this day possible. If you are interested or able to volunteer, return the sheet from Thursday folder or email us ASAP!!
