I swiped a GREAT book from my son’s fifth grade classroom.
The teacher has a semi-circle table all set up with multiple copies of various social studies books for the kids. I enjoy perusing this table every time I am in the classroom.
And one day last week I found a great one! It is called Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman. It is so incredible. It is about immigration into the United States for the average family at the around 1900. It is full of wonderful, in your face, reality-of-how-hard-it-all-was photographs! I realize that last sentence was chock full of grammatical errors, but, I don’t mind because this book is so good and I just want to get my point across, even if it means grammatical errors – like run-on sentences! 
I have heard so often about how people came to the “New World” in search of a better life. There was promise and hope and opportunity here in America. Things would be different. Things would be better.
Things were HARD! And this book shows and tells us all about it.
I’d love to tell you more about the book or how I feel about it or my take on it, but, I am getting very sleepy! I am, yet again, up past my bedtime!
So you just need to go find the book – look on Amazon, eBay, or go to your local library. Just check this book out!
Really!
GO READ A BOOK!
