This week in Social Studies we looked at the immigration issues affecting our nation. Students read Emma Lazarus’s sonnet “The New Colossus” and compared that to the U.S. government policy of enforcing the public charge rule. We also discussed major events in US immigration history. On Thursday, students will complete a writing prompt in class on where they stand in regard to our nation's immigration policy.
Next week - Geography of our nation.
