OKC Great Horned Owl-Cam Classroom Questions Answered through Videos by Alessondra

If your class has been watching the live OKC Great Horned Owl-Cam here is a link to the personal videos Alessondra has been making for classrooms answering their questions about the owls nesting outside her window. She is an amazing, well-spoken, young girl. Students will enjoy learning from her. I think there is still time to have her answer your students' questions about this owl family. The owlets haven't left the nest yet but they soon will.

Below is just a sample of the videos she has made.

If you don't know about the OKC Great Horned Owl-Cam check it out with your students. It's fascinating. You can read more about it and how to submit your classroom's questions in my earlier post My 3 Favorite Animal Web Cams. You'll find more resources for learning about owls in my post 20+ Resources to Learn about Owls!

Fun activity: Have your students take screenshots and make free collages with PicMonkey. Great for story starter reports art activities and more.
