Word of the Day
I was thinking that we should have something daily to look forward to. A daily book review would be to lengthy. Maybe a daily book quote? Hmm.. I'll actually probably do that next! But now, I think I'll do a Word of the Day. Our first word is...
marina (noun) small harbor with docks
I thought this would be a fine word for a fine summer day. To get these words, I open up to a random page in Webster's New Pocket Dictionary by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company. All credit to this mentioned dictionary. Every word that will every be in this Word of the Day is from this dictionary and every time, all credit goes to this dictionary. Anyways, have a fine day and keep reading! -Lucy

Summer Reading Goals
Hello everyone! Sorry that it has been FOREVER since the last post, but now that it's summer, everyone has a lot more time on their hands and hopefully I'll be able to post more often.
I thought that I'd start by asking if anyone had any Summer Reading Goals. I do! I want to read every book that I own that I have NOT read before. But, I also have three book lists and a list of books that I made that the Ellsworth Public Library has that I want to read. So many books, not enough time...
If you'd like, you can post in the comments any Summer Reading Goals that you may have. If not, that's okay!
I would also like to congratulate Reilly and Taylor for graduating! I hope you two keep checking out the blog because Katie, Mrs. Leighton, and myself will keep posting! If we have book club next year, I hope you stop by for a visit.
I think I might post one or two more posts today, and maybe some more over the next few days and definitely over the summer. Anyways, have a fantastic day and keep reading! -Lucy
