As I am preparing to decorate the school for the next theme; I have come up with Red, White and Blue; and Fun Facts about the Statue of Liberty.
So here is what the kids will learn.
Her Birthday is October 28, and this year she will turn 123 years old.
She is 305 feet tall; from the ground to the tip of her torch.
There are 354 steps inside and 25 viewing windows in her crown.
Her official name is; "Liberty Enlightening the World".
She is recognized the world over as the symbol of Freedom and Democracy.
Her designer was French sculptor, Frederic Aguste Bartholdi and she was completely funded by the French people.
How great it is to live in America.
Remember your roots, remember the sacrifices made; for freedom isn't free.
Who wouldn't love lady Liberty?? She is french!! and now she is American. Just like the immigrants that came through Ellis Island, she too was an immigrant to this great country. Great post and isn;'t being an American the best!!
