With these funds I will purchase The Magic School Bus :Rocky Road Trip sets for the entire 3rd grade (5 classrooms) in my school.  We study rocks and minerals during the entire 1st quarter.  We are integrating all of our standards and subjects into our Science units.  This story goes along with this unit.  We will be using this book as our Reading piece during this unit.  These books will not only help deepen our students' understanding of rocks but it will also help with their reading skills. Coming from low income homes, our students do not get to experience different environments, particularly to see other types of landscapes.

I will be purchasing 120 books of The Magic School Bus: Rocky Road Trip through Barnes and Noble.
