Three years ago in San Saba Elementary School, Mrs. Dickerson’s class started using a program to help her students K-4th grade with reading. I thought…Maybe another way to keep the students engaged and learning! I will give it a try! To my surprise, the students loved the program!

I have always been amazed that tiny hummingbirds are capable of migrating across the Gulf of Mexico and down into South America and back every year. They are so small (the average ruby-throat only weighs three grams, a little over a tenth of an ounce), and they have to beat their wings so fast.
