We have learning about the dictionary this week and how to look up words. Students practiced finding words in the text based on the guide words at the top of the page. It was important to figure out whether to open the book to the beginning, middle, or end section to start your search, because you don't want to flip through pages forever. They were excited as they combed through the dictionary to find a picture of Hedgie too! We will be continuing to use the dictionary as the year progresses, especially to look up how to spell words, and for learning new vocabulary.
