Students enjoyed watching to see if our straw legs connected to a paper plate table could hold a lot of weight. We were learning about birds and how they have light bones filled with air cavities. Nothing like reading integrated with science! #sd113a #RebelPride

Learning all about birds. The students created and charted their own wingspan on paper to see whose was the longest and shortest. Great teamwork and fun! #sd113a #RebelPride

Of course my son gets on ESPN for cheering on our Alma Mater and was seen watching the sheer disappointment in our Purdue Boilermakers. Sorry buddy! I love you!
