Dictionaries to 3rd Graders
Posted on Oct 17, 2017
On Tuesday, October 17 members of the Lake Ray Roberts Rotary club gave Pilot Point Intermediate 3rd grade students dictionaries. The Lake Ray Roberts Rotary Club presents dictionaries to the 3rd-grade students at Pilot Point and Tioga Schools.  The dictionaries are free to the students and they are their own to take home and use.  We presented the dictionaries to the students at Pilot Point Intermediate this past Tuesday.   Our rotary club has joined in  The Dictionary Project ( https://www.dictionaryproject.org/about/) The goal of The Dictionary Project is to ensure that everyone will be able to enjoy the benefits of owning a dictionary.  Dictionaries are presented at third grade as educators have identified it as the dividing line between learning to read and reading to learn.  It a joy to see the kids faces as they receive their dictionaries and write their name in them.
