Dear Ladies Auxiliary: Thank you so much for the dictionaries the third grade received this year. They are a very useful tool in the classroom and at home. The students have been using them to look up vocabulary words in reading, science, and social studies. They have been learning about guide words, syllables, and pronunciation in spelling/ phonics. We will be doing a unit... Read More

Dear Evelyn, Thank you so much to the Legion Auxiliary for the dictionaries. The students enjoy receiving them each year. My students this year were looking through them any spare moment they had for a couple days…even taking them outside at recess to read though different words. So they definitely are excited to use them, and they come in handy in the classroom. Thanks... Read More

Dear Mrs. Jolly and friends, Thank you so very much for the student dictionaries! The children have been thrilled to use them, study them, and own them. I have never seen them so eager to find new words! Thank-you for the Spanish-English dictionary, too. It will be a huge help to me as I have two students with extremely limited English. Even teachers can... Read More

Dear Mrs. Sherwood, Thank you so much for coming to see us again this year! The students are already showing me how they have learned to look up words on their own and how proud they are to own their own dictionaries. Please come again, Mrs. Ruiz

Dear Rotary Members, Thank you so much for the gift of dictionaries you gave to the children and our classroom. They are thrilled to have them and are anxious to use them at any given moment.

Marina Barnett, Granada, CA
Dear Mr. Small, This is a rather belated thank-you for the class set of dictionaries. It was an incredible gesture, very generous and helpful. Third grade is the year when students start to use the dictionary independently, and it is often very difficult to get families to provide one for their child. So along you came and gave one to each and every one... Read More

Mr. Bert Winton: Thank you so much for your generous donation of dictionaries to our Third Grade students. It was a perfect gift for them because they are just now learning to become proficient with resource books. We especially like these dictionaries because they are at the correct level of difficulty for 8 year old children and the print is clear and easily read.... Read More
