3rd Grade Dictionaries

For the past few years, our 3rd graders have been the fortunate recipients of new dictionaries. Venita Collier from the Lakewood Elks Lodge #17777, has represented the Lodge and come to the school to hand deliver the dictionaries to the students. 

During her visit, she also spent time reviewing the proper way to use a dictionary, and its extra resources. The students enjoyed finding the longest word in the dictionary. The word,  "Tryptophan synthetase A protein", is an enzyme that has 267 amino acids, and makes a record of 1,909 letters. It is the term for the formula C-1289 H-2051 N-343 O-375 S8.

Thank You Lakewood Elks Lodge!!
