Fifth Grade field trip to the Tsongas Industrial History Center

Below are some photographs of the fifth grade field trip to the Tsongas Industrial History Center in Lowell, MA last Friday. While there, we were introduced to the themes of immigration and industrialization in the 19th and early 20th centuries. We participated in a program called, "Yankees and Immigrants." Students participated in a town meeting role play, as well as a new immigrants at Ellis Island role play.
