Our school is a K-5 school, that operates on a modified calendar (rather than a typical summer vacation, our students enjoy shorter breaks throughout the year. We refer to these breaks as extended learning. During extended learning, students partake in both remediation and enrichment classes.)

Enrollment (as of 9/2015): 749 students

• African American: 39%
• Asian/Pacific Islander and American Indian: 5%
• Hispanic: 28%
• White: 25%
• Unspecified: 3%

With these funds I will purchase "My Dictionary and My Thesaurus" for my second students.  Second students are still learning the basics in reading and developing writing skills. At this time, the children do not have their own personal dictionary that they can record new words that they learn how to spell.  Having their own personal dictionary, each child will be able to broaden their own vocabulary, not rely on the teacher or classmates to spell words and the dictionary will have additional resources that each child can use during reading and writing each day.

The cost for each set (My Dictionary and My Thesaurus) is $7.00 per set. http://my-dictionary.com/?page_id=46
