“My name is Lieber but it shouldn’t be because my father was never really Lieber. Everything about me is based on my father’s false papers.”

Dear Harriet,

Thank you for coming and sharing your story. The coolest thing I learned was learning about everything because my grandpa was an immigrant, who told a lot of stories, so it’s interesting to learn someone else’s. I liked learning that your grandpa loved to draw, because I do too.

It’s amazing that almost everyone in your family was an immigrant. It’s funny that your great grandpas were both named Harry and you are named Harriet.

Sincerely,

Julian

Dear Harriet,

Than you for coming and sharing about your family’s history.

Something I liked was how they got to the port and where the port was, like how they had to climb over the Pyrenees Mountains. I also like learning about how they got onto the boat but didn’t know where they were going, but they went to Africa. I also thought the artifacts, like the candlesticks, the tools, the box, and even the jewelry with the missing diamonds were interesting. Also, it was interesting how your father had to change his last name to Lieber.

Thank you for coming and it was all very interesting!

Sincerely,

Ivy

Dear Harriet,

Thank you for coming to our class and telling us the story of your family.

My favorite part was when you told us your great grandpa followed the cart with all of the wood and ended up getting a job. I liked when you told us the two people in your family are named Harry and that’s why they made the name Harriet for you. I also liked when you told us how good your grandpa was at drawing, he is.

Thank you for coming to our classroom. We had an amazing time.

Love,

Will
