Kindergarten students at Jenks East Elementary enjoyed a hands-on Discovery Lab visit focused on birds and how they use their beaks to find food. Using tools like nets, nutcrackers, tweezers, and slotted spoons, students explored how different “beaks” work to catch food and crush shells. Thank you to the Jenks Public Schools Foundation for funding this engaging learning experience for our kindergarten students.
