Day In The Life Of An Immigrant Child
Deborah and Jake’s fourth grade class went to a lot of different places. DJ4 went to the Lower East Side Jewish Conservancy. Because they’re studying immigration. First DJ4 went to the building. They told DJ4 about Jewish people and how they immigrated, where they immigrated, and why they immigrated. The tour guide said “For some Jewish people it was hard to get to america.”
After, DJ4 went to a synagogue that was once a church. The church was built in 1846. After, it got turned into a synagogue around 1905. The thing about the synagogue was that the women couldn’t sit with men because of Jewish laws. Also one of the things about the synagogue is that it has a secret door. Although now it’s not so secret anymore. The reason the Jewish people needed the secret door was because they needed to hide the slaves because the bounty hunters would come and the slaves are not aloud to be in the synagogue.
After, DJ4 went to the pickle guy’s pickle shop. They had about everything pickled. The thing about pickles back then was that they didn’t have refrigeration. so they used pickles to refrigerate their food’s. He told DJ4 some funny jokes about pickles and numbers. He said “Why is six afraid of seven?” Then Eli Said “Because seven eight nine.” Get it? Well if you don’t then that stinks.
DJ4 will still be studying immigration for a while.
