The students from 3rd-6th grade learned about Ellis Island in computer class today. We started with Google Earth, locating Ellis Island and exploring the surrounding landmarks including Liberty Island where the Statue of Liberty stands, Wall Street, the harbor, etc. Next, we went on the Ellis Island Web Tour at www2.Scholastic.com.
We listened to the audio recordings and watched some of the videos. Unfortunately there wasn't enough time to complete the web tour.
The 4th graders were so enthralled with the Google Earth exploration that we didn't quite make it to the Scholastic website for the Ellis Island Web Tour.
The 2nd graders reviewed what they've learned in Power Point from the last two classes, and I set them free to do their first slideshow about their favorite things. The 2nd graders will work on their slideshow for a couple more days before we can share them on this blog!
