3rd Grade Gets Dictionaries

Mrs. Leoncio's Class
Today, Mililani Mauka Elementary welcomed members from the Rotary Club as they delivered a dictionary to each and every third grade student.  Students walked back to class excited to start using their dictionaries - especially to look up the longest word in the English language - ask any 3rd grader what it is...
