But what's even stranger to them is their new teacher, Mr. Mensch, who is dressed up like the Statue of Liberty! Mr. Mensch takes the kids on a whirlwind adventure aboard his magical Meshugenahmobile, all the way back to 1903, a time when immigrants arrived to the shores of New York in waves, to unwelcoming crowds.
