"“We get to see the eagles set up their nest, then we get to see them lay eggs, and then we get to see the eggs hatch and the chicks grow,” Stinson said."
"“Then a few months ago, she learned that the area where the eagles hunt could be developed into luxury homes, unless the San Bernardino Mountain Land Trust can raise $10 million dollars to buy the land by July 31st.”"
"“Instead of doing the normal unit, we shifted a little bit to persuade people in the community, famous people, to donate to this cause,” she said."
"“The letters the students wrote are being sent to people around the world, from family members of the students to social media influencers and famous singers like Taylor Swift.”"
A science class uses a 24-hour webcam showing bald eagles Jackie and Shadow in Big Bear Valley. Students observe nest building, egg laying, hatching, and chick growth as part of life cycle lessons. The eagles’ hunting area faces potential conversion into luxury homes unless the San Bernardino Mountain Land Trust raises $10 million by July 31 to buy the land. Teachers and students respond by shifting a persuasive writing unit toward community outreach. Students write letters urging donations, sending messages to people worldwide, including family members, social media influencers, and well-known singers such as Taylor Swift.
