My Project

Of all the items in a classroom, besides pencils and paper, the dictionary is the most used in the whole class. Although technology has dramatically improved the accessibility of finding answers at lightning speed, nothing can replace the knowledge of looking up what something means in a dictionary. Not only is it something that is required to do in class but also to have the skill of how to find something in a book and succeed.

Dictionaries are a staple in the class, and when they are falling apart with pages missing due to age it is time for a replacement.

Please help me give this basic, fundamental, necessary book back to my students.
