Quack quack! Have you ever wondered how duck bills and bird beaks can pick up food? Recently, the first graders learned about animal superpowers in science class, how birds can distinguish between rocks and food in tight spaces and how a duck's bill picks up food. We love seeing our students embrace the spirit of Classroom Curiosity!
