Dictionaries and thesauri are a cause for celebration

The Rotary Club of Littleton, Colorado, has donated dictionaries to the third graders and thesauri to the fourth graders at Centennial Academy and East Elementary School in Littleton. Each book had a bookplate placed inside with a message from the Rotary Club and the names of the partners who helped with the project.

The Rotary Club received many wonderful thank-you letters from the children. Here are a few of them:

Dear Littleton Rotary,
Thank you for the useful dictionaries. I use the dictionary to figure out hard words while I’m reading. The most interesting part was page482, where I saw my home state, South Korea.
My job in class is ‘substitute helper.’ Whenever we have a substitute, Kylie, Annaliese, and I help out the substitute. Oh, I even made cards to write down what I searched in the dictionary. Thank you once again for the dictionaries you brought to our 3rd grade classes.
Sincerely,
Eunjin

Dear Rotary Club and Bemis Library
I realy like it that you sent me my own dictionary. I will use this dictionary with homework. By finding words for my sentenses. I will also use it for reading, by finding words I do not know. Did you know that a dictionary is one of my favorite books because they have a lot of words. One of the words I looked up was plot. It means a secret plan. I realy hope I can get anther one.

Dear Rotary Club and Bemis Library,
Thank you for the Student’s Dictionary! I love the way the dictionary has the longest English word. Methionylg ect. I love the way it has Presidents. In my class we studies the Presidents. I basically love the whole book! I love the whole book because it’s fun to read and look though. In the dictionary I found the word…pace. The definition for pace is…a steady step or speed that is maintained. It is a verb.
Again, Thank you for the Student’s Dictionary.
