Mrs. R. Lyle Creek Elementary School
Conover, NC Grades 3-5

My wonderful class is located in a Temperate Forest in the foothills of North Carolina. They are eager, curious 5th graders who want to learn about ecosystems even though they may never have a chance to visit those different from their own.

I would love to be able to take them to these places right in my own classroom. I have a few books but not nearly enough to immerse them into the great literature that is provided by the ONE SMALL SQUARE series. Each book provides students with colorful pictures and information that will be invaluable to them on the End of Grade Science Test.

With these books, I will be able to divide my classroom into exciting ecosystems and let the students decorate each section of the classroom as a separate ecosystem. They will be amazed as they walk from the Tropical Rainforest to the Desert to the Artic Tundra without leaving their room.

Please help me excite my children with these great books. Your donation would be put to great use. I can't wait to open the boxes and see their faces as they pull out the books and begin dreaming about how they will set up their little part of the world in our classroom. Thank you, in advance, for your generous donation.
