East Northport Middle School fifth grade students got to participate in a simulation of what many of their ancestors endured when entering the United States during an interactive lesson designed to mimic Ellis Island in the early 1900's as a culminating activity to their unit on immigration in America. 

Many students researched members of their own family for the event, choosing an older member of their family tree. The simulation involved students participating in a series of stations similar to what immigrants would have experienced in the early 1900’s.
