Did you Watch the Superbowl?!

Did you watch the Superbowl (the halftime show is actually playing while I type this!) If you watched the Superbowl, you should have noticed that the Broncos and the Seahawks were playing in New York City. We have been reading and studying Sky Boys, by Deborah Hopkinson and James E. Ransome. From reading this book we have learned about New York City in the 1930s. Tonight, on the Superbowl TV coverage, you may have noticed the main subject of Sky Boys, the Empire State Building. What we’re learning about in class is out there in the real world! Crazy! Check out the great Empire State Building website above!

The beautiful Empire State Building lights up in different colors at night!

Here is the picture I promised you! The Sky Boys enjoy their lunches and take a break from work high above NYC, as progress on the Empire State Building continued!
