The 3rd graders participated in an Ellis Island Simulation as part of the IB program. They were each assigned a name with a description of their character. Andrew was a farmer from Norway named Sven Anderson. His name was changed to Sam after he was allowed into the U.S. and he got a train ticket to Minneapolis.

Sven having his passport looked at and getting his new name. He moved on to a waiting area before being checked by the health department. Thank goodness he was in good health to avoid being deported.
Another station the immigrants had to visit before getting a train ticket to their new home.
