Today is Skyscraper day (according to ‘Holiday Insights’, a website I found). It is a good day to take a moment and think about the ingenuity and fortitude that went into creating these gravity defying beasts!

For those in Chicago – did you know that from 1974 to 1998 the Sears Tower (Willis Tower) was the tallest building in the World? It was then kicked off of its pedestal by The Petronus Towers in Malaysia. Since then many buildings have scraped the sky pushing Sears Tower down to 21 on the list. Still pretty respectable though!

But this isn’t Sears Tower day, it’s skyscraper day! Tell a story about an angel and djinn meeting at the peak of the Burj Khalifa. Draw a picture, write a poem, sculpt a model of your very own skyscraper. Or you could research the life a skyscraper in your favorite city. There are so many options!

P.S. The Picture is of The Hancock building
