[LM_NET] Traveling Trunks

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@FWCDS.ORG>]

Just for fun I checked online for additional "traveling trunks" that weren't listed 
with the NPS and discovered several inexpensive trunks of materials that were 
available for classroom / library use.  Some of these are restricted to specific 
states or areas of the country, but many may be available to those outside or near 
those sponsoring the trunks. So, if you're planning a unique unit and want to find 
some materials now for the instruction process or for a library display, you might 
want to Google:  traveling trunks    (you might want to add your state's name to 
get specific trunks)

There are tons of great free / inexpensive materials out there for your classroom 
or library!  Here are a just a few:
