Joshua has been studying Immigration at school. Joshua was a Mexican Immigrant. They had an "Immigration Day". It was a simulation of what it would have been like to come to America in the early 1900's. They arrived by boat, Josh was in steerage, and made their way to Ellis Island, where they were put threw different stations. There was a baggage station (where there bags were checked and some of there stuff stolen), a medical stations (fun test here like jumping on one leg, etc.), a interview station (where they were grilled as to where, why, what and how) and a passport station. Some were even deported. It was a fun day and I got to help!
