Read two chapters of Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
Read Catherine Vos Story Bible
Read Naming Liberty, a picture book that tells parallel stories of the creation of the Statue of Liberty and a family of Jewish Russian immigrants.
Got online and looked up pictures of the interior of Lady Liberty, found out whether you can still go up into the crown (you can't, since 9/11).
Next we looked up pictures of the sculptor's other sculptures...

Then watched YouTube videos of 9/11
Researched who the terrorists were and why they attacked the Twin Towers
