We are just about to set off on a journey to discover who lived (and lives) in America!
Welcome Ms. Oliver's fourth grade class! This website is designed to help you review your immigration knowledge by looking at key facts, places and dates. You will also be able to learn some new cool facts about immigration in present day America, such as the countries where the majority of the people immigrate from and the reasons behind their immigration. You may even discover that some people immigrate today for the same reasons as people did a hundred or two hundred years ago! This website will give you an overview of the major waves of immigration to America, the history of Ellis Island and some reasons behind the immigration from different countries. Once you have finished looking and reading through the website you will be able to take a quiz to test your knowledge to see if you're an immigration expert. (Which you are!)
