Change of plans...It's a live camera of a bald eagles nest in Decorah, Iowa. Mom laid 3 eggs in late February/early March. The first egg hatched early this morning and the second egg hatch is IMMINENT!
The video above is a 24 hour collage of the first pip up to the hatch and the first sightings of the little guy. So amazing!
Unfortunately the site is down now because of a server crash but hopefully they won't miss the second eaglet's birthday!
What an awesome real life classroom experience!! My brain is buzzing with all the different ways I can use this in my classroom next week. There is a chat room feature with experts from the Raptor Resource Project where you can ask questions and discuss the goings on. (Perfect for Media Literacy week...)
**Caution to teachers of younger kiddos-there are some graphic images that might appear since the video is live (i.e. when the birds bring back their meals) but there are a ton of saved videos that are more appropriate to show the younger crowd.**
Since I didn't get a chance to work on my library-it gives me a chance to pose this question.
How do you organize your classroom library? What rules and procedures do you use to keep it running efficiently?

What a great way to bring the real world into the classroom!! Sadly, my classroom library is in disarray. I need to reteach a few mini lessons about what goes where :)
