From There to Here… 2019/2020
As part of their Fall 2019 Social Studies unit, thirty-four Winchester Thurston School fifth graders interviewed people who came to the Pittsburgh area from other parts of the world. Here are excerpts from these interviews, and the students’ reflections on this project.
