Two 3rd grade classrooms will be doing an ELA and Social Studies unit about immigration this school year. We know that this is currently a hot topic in our current society. We feel it is important for our students to understand the immigrant experience in order build understanding and acceptance of cultural diversity. We plan on teaching this unit early on in this school year because the immigrant experience is similar to being in a new classroom. Students can connect to the novel, Stella Diaz Has Something to Say, because they too will have to adjust to a new environment, with a new teacher, new classmates, and new expectations. Another reason we feel this unit is important is because within the unit students will be learning the reasons immigrants have come to this country (or other countries.) They will also learn about each other's diverse cultural backgrounds and in some cases why their families have immigrated. Each student brings with them different traditions and perspectives.
