This week, our classes continued to learn about immigration in America by looking at the people, experiences and stories of Ellis Island. The kids also learned about captains of industry, such as Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller and John Pierpont Morgan. The older kids learned about how the business leaders developed industries using consolidation, trusts and monopolies. The Lower Grammar class and the Upper Grammar class both made cute personalized banks. The Dialectic kids finished up their immigration simulation--with some staying in America, while others were deported! The Rhetoric class worked hard on their discussions and their Presidential biography projects. The Five in a Row class read the book, "Somewhere in the Ocean." This rhyming book teaches children the names of marine animals and their babies!
