Today we had the opportunity to listen and learn from Lady Liberty. We learned many fascinating facts about the history of the statue. Did you know that the statue was actually the color of copper when she came to Liberty Island in May of 1885? Through weathering, she has turned green, which is called "petina."
The Statue of Liberty was sent to America in 300 pieces! Her base contains a copper box filled with a copy of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, newspapers from the time she was built, and her story of how she was created.
After learning all these facts and having class pictures taken, the students went to four different "fun" stations that allowed them the liberty to choose their activities for the day. What fun we had!
