Help For Our Next Unit
As we move forward onto our next unit of inquiry, we would like to ask any parents to share their own migration stories with us. If you have an experience you would be willing to share, we would like to ask you to write a short recount of the experiences, challenges and risks you faced when moving countries. Any accounts would be gratefully received.
