Eagles’ Nest Radio Episode 1: Take a BITE Out of Shark Facts!
Posted on October 8th, 2008 by carrie.edmison

Listen to our first official podcast of the school year! Learn some “fin”-tastic shark facts, as you listen to this entertaining and informative podcast created by third graders!
Segments included in this podcast: Poetry Paradise, Making Change, Vocabulary Vault, and Did You Know?

I must say that these students did an amazing job! They were the first podcast group of the year, so they knew they were taking on a huge responsibility. I was impressed with their research, planning, and their excellent reading. Way to go, podcasters!
Love,
Mrs. E
That was awesome!!! I love the special effects! Great job students!
Miss Nneka
Great podcast! I thought you asked excellent questions. I liked hearing the excitement in your voices. Your voices also sounded great. I could clearly understand every word. Excellent job!
I am really looking forward to hearing more from your class!

Dear Eagles’ Nest Radio,
Your podcast was “shark-tastic!!” We loved how you put the music in the background. We liked how your voices were loud enough for all to hear. We loved how you used expressions on your words.
Thank you for giving us an example of how to do a class podcast. We would love to hear you do another “fin-tastic” podcast.
Sincerely,
Combee Room 108

Hi,I love your web cast it was funny. I like when Anna went - that was shark-tastic!
hey Anna Cathrine. I loved it! I can’t wait until there’s another one. I loved when you ask questions.
I love this podcast! I like how it has lots of information. Everyone has good expression when the podcasters talk . I can’t wait until you post another podcast!
Sincerly, Olivia
Dear Students,
I love your podcast. I was disappointed, however, that it was about sharks and not juicy delicious veggies. Oh well!
I think you read almost as well as Harold does, and that is saying a lot! He is a great reader.
I can’t wait to hear your next podcast. Any chance that you’ll have one about vampire bunnies who love vegetables?
Love,

I loved being part of eagle’s nest radio . IT WAS A BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope the other groups like it too!!!!!!!!! I was the one who talked about a poem. I hope you found the book ZOO. The poem is on page 31. I read the whole book. It ROCKS!!!!!!!
love,
Carissa
YOUR PODCAST ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that you read slow for little kids - that is great. I love to make podcasts like this one! Yep, I was in this podcast. It was fun to work with Carter, Anna Catherine, Daisy, and William. I think we worked hard and that’s why it is good and I also think that the others are going to be good too!!!!!!!!!!!!! I say, if you make one you will be great too !!!!!!!!

Our class really enjoyed your podcast. Here are some of our students’ comments:
“I liked when you talked about the sharks’ teeth and jaws.” “The hammerhead shark was cool because it’s eyeballs were as big as a softball.” “Your podcast rocks!” “Anna Catherine, you were great!” “Keep up the good work.” “I hope you have a podcast about cars and snakes.” “You guys are the best podcasters. I heard every word that you said. Your music in the background sounded like Star Wars a little bit.” “I liked the guitar music at the beginning and end. I thought it was cool you invited a guest.” “Your class is awesome! They are really good at speaking up.”
We look forward to upcoming podcasts.

I LOVE SHARK POEMS! I WAS ALSO IN THIS PODCAST!! I SAY WE WE’RE GOOD BECAUSE WE WORKED TOGETHER AS A GROUP !! I HOPE WE GET TO MAKE MORE
Dear Reader,
I was in this podcast. It was fun to make! Our adult that helped us is Mrs. Edmison! She rocks at podcasts!! She found great music for our class podcast!! Our teacher, Mrs. Edmison said that it is so good it will be on Itunes! That would rock! The cool part is that our whole class gets to do it. My whole class has AWESOME ideas for all of our podcasts.
LOVE,
CARISSA
I love your podcast I watch it from the north pole.
Dear Podcasters,
WOW! I was so impressed by your knowledge about sharks. Your dedication and teamwork made the first podcast absolutely amazing. I am so lucky to be able to spend my days with each of you. I can hardly wait to see what your classmates come up for the next podcast! Eagle Nest radio is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!!
Love,

This podcast is FANTASTIC! It would be cool if you did a podcast on jellyfish. Most jellyfish are harmful so I don’t really like them but I like the way they look also, I bet they feel squishy!
Dear Aivilo (your name looks familiar to me…hmmmm),
I love jellyfish. Well, when I say I love them, I don’t want to swim with them. I do love to watch them, though. I also think they are fun to draw. It would be fun to have a podcast about animals people fear, and we could tell about a different side of them (that they are beautiful, or that they are important to the chain of life, etc.). Great thinking Aivilo!
Love,
Mrs. E
Dear Mrs. E,
I think that is a great idea! Maybe some other animals like the sting ray or other animals you could put in the podcast too. I can’t wait to hear the next podcast and see what it’s about!
Sincerely,
Aivilo:)
Dear Mrs.E
I just wanted to say you guys are awesome because you make such great podcasts!:) I can’t wait till another one. What is the next one? Cars,planes,electricity,etc? I’ll be listening to every podcast you make. I just want to say you’re great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:)
Dear Leinad,
Thanks for your wonderful comment!
I do think I know who you are, and I can’t wait to hear your future podcast! See you on Monday!
Love,

I practiced about 3 times on some of them, but once on the other one.
Dear Anna Catherine, you sound like a pro! You really took your time in talking.Was it hard thinking of what you were going to say? Your classmate, Daisy
That was awesome!! You all spoke so clearly and I didn’t know sharks lived that long!! You guys should definitely do another one because you have so much talent. I’m Carter’s older cousin by the way.

Carter did a great job reading and being enthusiastic as the same time!! I really enjoyed this podcast. As a future teacher, it was great example of technology having a real impact in the classroom! All the students did such a great job!
