Nate’s North American Anthology of Wonderful Wingspans
Nate (a second grader) has an interest in birds. Ansel (a third grader) and her father are birders too. Below is a mix of Nate's wingspan data and Ansel's father's photographs.
After looking at the bird photos and talking about the wingspans, we went outside and drew life-size wingspans of several birds.
