Funded May 9, 2022Thank you so much for donating to literacy in the 3rd grade classrooms! Scholars are already using the dictionaries to support their writing projects. When scholars are searching for a word to complete their sentence, or check their spelling, they are able to get one of the many high quality and engaging dictionaries that are now a part of every day in the classroom.
The rich illustrations and variety of words in the dictionaries have been incredibly compelling to my students. I did not anticipate how enthralled they would be just by browsing the dictionary on its own. This has lead to much excitement as students are discovering new words to add to their future vocabulary and writing projects.
I've noticed that students who struggle with decoding and encoding are particularly drawn to the classroom dictionaries. They are building their confidence in both reading and writing, and now have a tool at their disposal. This empowerment will be felt in their literacy growth for school years to come. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Kline
