Ellis Island Trip (2008)
Today on May 6th 2008 the entire 5th grade went to Ellis Island. We first took the bus into Manhattan to Battery Park. We got to Battery Park and we got on the boat. We circled around Liberty Island. Then we headed to Ellis Island. We got to Ellis Island and then we got off the boat and we had lunch. Then we went into the museum. When we were in the museum and we went into the room that was called the registry room. We learned that in that room immigrants would have to be tested. They had to take two tests to see if they can move on. We also learned that the way to get up to that room you have to go up stairs and that was one part of the two tests that the immigrants had to take. The second part of the test was that the police would have to ask them 25 questions in only two minutes.
After the guide was done talking to us we went to the gift shop. We all brought a lot of souvenirs. Then when we were done with that we got back on the boat to Battery Park. When we got back to Battery Park we got back on the bus and headed for St. Christopher’s School.
We all had a great time!
