3rd Graders Receive Personalized Dictionaries | |
Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Polhemus' 3rd grade classes received their own personalized dictionaries on Thursday. Mr. Richard Kazell from Rotary Club came to speak to the students and give each of them a dictionary with their name written inside. Our students will use the dictionaries to practice their English mechanics. Before Mr. Kazell left, the students were already reading through and discovering what all they can find in their dictionaries.
In the photo above, Mr. Kazell shares his own experiences about when he was in school as the students listened attentively. |
