Fifth grade is a great time to enrich our vocabulary! Having dictionaries will help us do that along with enriching spelling and manually learning how to look up words the "old fashioned way" because though technology is great, it can't be the only way we learn. I want them to learn how to look up words, read through the definitions and figure out which definitions fits for the context they are using the words. This is such a diverse lesson that requires a lot of different skills. It will enrich our classroom environment.
