My Project

The goal of this project is to help my students in becoming good writers, active readers, creative thinkers, and resourceful learners by providing them with their own personal dictionary. The dictionaries are a gift to each student to use at school and at home for years to come. As a fifth grade teacher, I see this as the dividing line between learning to read and reading to learn, so we encourage our sponsors to give dictionaries each year to children in the third grade. My students will be able to use these dictionaries throughout their entire elementary school career.

Ms. Dragg will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by June 26.
