Class Dictionaries and Thesauruses

Help me give my students the materials they need in order to be successful readers, writers, and spellers.

My Project

Please help provide a small set of classroom dictionaries and thesauruses.

It is so important for students to learn to problem solve with tools that are provided to them.

Currently, I do not have a classroom set of either book and my students have a tendency to rely on me for spelling. I would love to be able to encourage them to grab their resource and apply the skills I have taught them. By providing these resources I am able to do that for my class. Not only do these materials help with spelling, but they also will allow my students to use more advanced word choices in their writing pieces. These items allow my students to grow academically beyond where they currently are.
