Hi,

Book Blogs is where I will be posting some of the new books I am reading that you might want to check out here at Lincoln.

If you have a book that you are reading and want to share let me know!

Post a comment to this book blog!

You can also e-mail me at caouet@portlandschools.org

If you haven’t read The Greatest Stories Never Told by Rick Beyer you are not alone. I found this book buried in the non-fiction section (of course, that is right where it was supposed to be). It is a collection of stories that are real tales from history to “astonish, bewilder, and stupefy.” Lots of interesting facts about history that you won’t learn in Social Studies!

Right now I am reading a book called Sold by Patricia McCormick.

For good book suggestions look at the Lincoln Library web page and click on “Awards and Reading Lists.”

The Library sponsored an Earth Day Poetry contest and we had over 200 entries!!!!

Wow, what talented students we have at Lincoln.

First Place Winner is Wasita Mahaphanit with her free verse poem Mother Earth.  Second place winner is Abukar Adan with his rap poem.

The book is Homeless Bird by Gloria Whelan.

Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Caouette will be posting dates for the book group that will be held in the library after school.

We have at least five more copies of this title. Please contact Mrs. Caouette or Mrs. Wilson to sign up and get a copy.
