Rocks and Minerals are a large part of our Science curriculum and often it is difficult to find non-expository text for this unit. While doing some searching on Amazon I came across this book, If You Find a Rock. It is a short book, and one I plan to use to introduce this unit, with pictures of how we use rocks.
I also liked this book because it is a poem. The author speaks to the reader about finding rocks and describes the different features of the rocks. I have added this book to my Amazon cart, one because I think it would be a great addition to my unit and two because I have a bad addiction to online shopping!
Today also marks one year for me as a seller on TpT. To celebrate I am giving away a freebie from my Rocks & Minerals Interactive Notebook set to go along with today's Mentor Text. Enjoy!
Keep stopping by this week for more Freebies in celebration of my one year blogiversary and TpT store!
Here's a great free activity to go along with this book: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/If-You-Find-a-Rock-Mentor-Sentence-Freebie-712908

Thanks for the freebie. I am looking forward to using this book in my language class later this year. (Third grade teaches rocks and minerals at my school!) I'll be passing the freebie on to her.
