**** Refreshments will be served! ****
The face of the Connecticut River Valley drastically changed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with a wave of immigrants. Most of these ‘strangers’ came from Eastern Europe. We will explore what drove them to emigrate, what drew them here, and discuss ways to help students understand the immigrant experience. Grades K-12.
Participants will tour the Polish Center, attend a talk by local historian and retired teacher Stephen R. Jendrysik, and break into small groups with Deerfield Teachers’ Center staff to create ideas for lessons using PVMA’s American Centuries website http://www.americancenturies.mass.edu/
