April 6, 2020 - Today two librarians from the Roosevelt School District, Pam Hulin and Nancy Schwartz, gave us an excellent overview of how the dictionaries which our club provides each year are used and appreciated throughout the 3rd Grade classes. To learn more click on "Read More" below.
Nancy and Pam told us how much the students love the dictionaries. They explained some of the exercises that challenge the students to use the dictionaries most effectively. They assured us that, even though the schools now had laptops in the classrooms, the dictionaries are still very important to the students. The following video is the powerpoint presentation they used for their presentation. President Wally Stuebner told Pamela and Nancy how much the club enjoyed coming to the schools to deliver and briefly explain how to use the dictionaries. (These books are also almanacs - not just dictionaries). Wally assured them that our club has secured funding for next year's dictionaries and support for their Spelling Bee. The librarians emphasized that the schools would prefer to have the dictionaries distributed as early as possible in the fall. We will try to accommodate that request. The beginning of the presentation is a bit choppy - hang in there, it improves.
