| Dear Elks Members,
I am writing to thank you for the dictionary. We have studied homophones, entry words, guide words, and correct spelling, and I use the dictionary when we are working on these things. We have no dictionary at home so it will be great to have one. I have learned so much. Thank you for the dictionary.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. French,
I thank you for the dictionary. I really wanted one. I had asked my mom if I could have one she said no. I had waited until Christmas but I was mad. I did not get one. You have really made my day very fun. So if you see me on the street I will say, “Always thinking.”
Sincerely,

Dear Nice Ladies,
Thank you for the cool dictionary. I use the dictionary you gave me every time I have to write a story. My class and I have had a lot of fun looking up words. Eventually I will use the dictionary to learn about words I don’t know.
Sincerely,

Dear Jamie Walzer,
I am writing to thank you for the dictionary. It helps me a lot when I’m reading and I do not know what a word means. If I do not know how to pronounce a word my dictionary helps me with that too. My dictionary always has the word that I am looking for. Since one word can have more that one meaning, I will be able to see that I am using the word correctly in a sentence. Thanks for your generosity.
Sincerely,
Samantha

Dear Jamie Walzer,
Thank you for our “dictionary” they help with our spelling and they are so cool! I remember the 5 things you can learn in it. It tells you about syllables, it tells you the meaning, it tells you how to spell a word, it tells you if it’s a noun, verb or plural. I love the color, how the words are written, and I like how they give you the cursive letters and not cursive letters. Thank you very much for the dictionary.

Dear Mrs. French,
The dictionary is the best book that I got this year! The dictionary is helpful to me for spelling. If I need help with a word that I can’t read, I can look it up in my dictionary. The dictionary helps me by knowing what a word means if I don’t get it sometimes. The dictionary is the best book that I got this year because it helps me learn new things.
Sincerely,

Dear Mary French,
Thank you for the dictionary! I use it when I don’t know how to spell a word. Before I had a dictionary, I had to ask Ms. Z how to spell a word for me. But now I have a dictionary to take care of my problem.

I want to thank you for the dictionaries because it helps us learn words. It is good because when we get in the fourth grade we will know the words. I am glad that we have dictionaries because it makes us learn hard words we don’t know. It’s great to learn words that we don’t know and how to say them. I am glad people are trying to help us learn how to spell words.
Love,

I want to thank you for the dictionary. It is very helpful. The dictionary does not have one of my spelling words. I think we deserved it. I think you are nice by giving us those. The dictionary can fit in my book sack. It helps my mom some too. She likes having a dictionary in her purse. I thought that was cool. I think the dictionary was a good idea to give us. The dictionary is a good thing to have if you want to know a word. That’s all I have to say. My mom thinks so too.

Dear Dictionary Project,
Thank you for the wonderful dictionary. What I love about the dictionary is that it has so much information that it’s like a personal teacher. I tend to use the dictionary to help me improve with my homework and education. I think you’re so kind and thoughtful and amazingly giving to give all third grade a dictionary in the state. In the future this dictionary will help me be able to become an Artist, Musician, Builder, or a seller. Finally it will help me get to college and get a collage degree.
Thank you very much!!!!

Thank you for giving me a dictionary. What I like most about my dictionary is it’s tiny and it’s not heavy. So I can carry it around with me. I plan to use my dictionary for my homework.

Thank you so much for the dictionary. The dictionary helps me so much. I love it. The thing I enjoy most about it is the back of the dictionary. It helps me learn a lot of brand new stuff. You are so thoughtful and giving, kind, and caring. In the future I’m going to be a teacher when I grow up. The dictionary will help me when I need to know how to spell some words. When I grow up I’m going to do a great and thoughtful thing like you did. The dictionary helps me a lot with my story I write in Mrs. Moore’s great classroom.
You see we have this thing called editing your cups it stands for capitalization, usage, punctuation, and spelling. I really do like the dictionary.

Dear Dictionary Project,
Thank you for sending us these dictionaries! I really appreciate you for sending them to our school. Cotton Belt is the best school you may not believe this but I’ve been waiting for a dictionary for a long time because sometimes in social studies I need a dictionary on my homework, and I don’t have one.
The dictionaries you sent us are the best, no one ever did something that nice for me when it comes to school. Well some people, but no one has ever donated dictionaries to our school. Oh yeah by the way I’m Antonia.
Thanks a lot! Now that we have dictionaries it will finally help us more in social studies and now the people in third grade will show more perseverance in class that means they will never give up in social studies. I’m sure everyone appreciate you all very much.

Dear Ms. French
Thank you for giving us those dictionaries. If we ever need to know a word we don’t have to go running to someone. All we have to do is look in the dictionary and it will help us learn to spell hard words and helps us to remember them. But, a good thing is we did not have to pay. Thank you! We are going to fourth grade in 10 more days we don’t know every word yet.
Sincerely,

Ninety Six Elementary

Dear Ms. French,
Thank you for the dictionaries you gave us. We might need it some time. I think it’s important to have a dictionary because maybe someone does not know how to spell a word. Maybe no one know how to spell a word. Maybe no one know how to use it. Some people don’t want to look in a dictionary so they just ask how to spell something. If you use a dictionary you can get your work done faster.
I’m glad I got my own dictionary. Now if I need help trying to spell a word I can just look in my dictionary.
Sincerely your friend,
