WELCOME TO THE LINCOLN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LIBRARY!

 Home of the Reading Lions!

Our library is committed to creating a love of reading and learning and to supporting our students and teachers.

Every class has a 30-minute library visit every week. Students in grades 2 - 6 may check out two books for two weeks and students in K-1 may check out one book per week.  Parents accompanying students can check out an additional two books.

Students can use library passes to enjoy game time during morning and lunch recesses.

Accelerated Reader Program

At Lincoln, students will be engaged in the Accelerated Reader (AR) program through 6th grade. This program is designed to assess each student's reading level and reading comprehension. After a student finishes reading a book, they will take an AR test on campus. The higher score they receive, the more points they will earn. A score that is not passing will earn 0 points.

Reader’s Den Award
A student's AR points are the determining factor in earning the Reader's Den Award. Each grade level's yearly AR goal is listed below.

• 1^st Grade: 50 books plus 6 projects
• 2nd Grade: 30 AR points
• 3rd Grade: 45 AR points
• 4th Grade: 60 AR points
• 5th Grade: 75 AR points
• 6^th Grade: 90 AR points or 4,000 pages verified (or a combination of both)

*AR quizzes may be taken in the classroom, library, or in the tech lab.

AR At Home
Check your child's current points at Renaissance Home Connect.
