My students need 25 Children's dictionaries to use within classroom.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gowans's classroom raised $497
This project is fully funded
I teach 4th grade students in a charter school in the inner city that reaches out to high need students and the surrounding community. My students are hard working and have a love for learning.
The students would benefit greatly from these dictionaries. We currently only have a few adult dictionaries that do not meet the needs of the students.
These students will use their new dictionaries to define and spell words, identify multiple meanings, identify parts of speech and much more!
Your help will ensure that my students increase their vocabulary and create better opportunities for them in the future. They will learn that a dictionary can be an importance resource to assist with their learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
