My Project

With these new dictionaries students will be able too better study the morphology (word parts) and the etymology (word history) of words in the English language. The new dictionaries will compliment our Phonics curriculum and our Writers' Workshop.

These dictionaries are modern and engaging with photos and word history.

Purchasing 15 means there will be enough for one between two students, perfect for dictionary work.

Recently, I removed dictionaries that were older than me from our classroom library! Help us get dictionaries that include words such as; internet, smartphone and global warming.
