Thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Clayton

Dear Dictionary Project, I wish I had a video so you could see the joy when my bilingual students received their dictionary. Some of them carried them everywhere, everyday. My hope is that they use them for summer. I had 22 out of 31 students make the transition into total English. The most I have ever had! My students did not order the TV... Read More

Eastwood Rotary Club, Thank you for your generous gift to our sixth graders. Each student is using his/her thesaurus on a daily basis. Sincerely, Beth Chavoustie

Dear Dictionary Donors, I wanted to personally thank you for the wonderful dictionaries. I am thrilled to be able to provide each of my students with their own dictionary. Spelling and vocabulary are two of our central focuses this year. These dictionaries will provide students with extra support while working with challenging words. The students are so appreciative of your gift as well. They... Read More

Dear Carmel Lions Club, I can’t thank you enough for coming to College Wood and giving dictionaries to all of the 3rd graders! My class loves them and keeps them in their desks to use every day. You are so kind to think of us! Kristy McKee 3rd grade teacher

It was amazing to see the students exploring the pages and to see their faces light up with excitement at the sight... Read More

Dear Ms. Mary French, Thank you so much for all of your work to get the third grade students of South Carolina their own dictionary. I always love to see their smiles when I tell them about what you do so that they can have one of their very own. Most of our students would never have one at all to keep at home... Read More

The third graders at Sedgefield are extremely grateful for the generous gift from your Kiwanis Club. You would have been so pleased to have seen the smiles when each student was given a dictionary and told that it was theirs to keep and even take home at the end of the year. Many carried them around for several days and looked up any word... Read More

All of the students have received their dictionaries. I don’t think any could possibly be enjoying them more than my own kids, who have developed a game where they read a definition to each other and the others must then guess the word. Their friends are also playing the game! Many…MANY…students have excitedly told me about their explorations within the pages and how “awesome”... Read More
