Studying The U.S.A

This week we have been studying immigration.We learned a lot about the U.S.A and how the people came here for freedom war and work. Our teacher gave  us an assignment she gave us a passport and we had to fill it out some of us got rejected and we talked about how it felt getting rejected and not getting rejected some people who got rejected said they didn't like it and the people who did make it said they liked it. Who ever didn't make it the teacher said they had to stay in for recess. But she was just kidding so we didn't have to stay in. Then in a couple weeks, we wrote letters about us pretending to be a immigration and us traveling to Ellis Island and if you passed you can go to new york. If you didn't pass you have to go back home. But most people wrote about making it to Ellis island. it took a really long time but it was so worth it after we got to stamp them with tea bags it made them look really old and like it has been through a lot. We learned a lot about the U.S.A.

Poetry Slam By Claire

Last Thursday the 4th grade had something called a poetry slam, to raise money for our first field trip to the Connecticut science museum. At 6:30 almost all the 4th grade showed up at the cafeteria for the poetry slam. The teachers asked the parents to bring desserts. So it was a dessert party. Then at 7:00 people started reading their poems. Some of the poems were sad, funny, joyful, and a lot other emotions. we are going to the science museum May 25th.
