Mr.Lincoln's Way by Patricia Polacco Is a story about a wonderful principal named Mr.Lincoln who struggles to reach a particular child who causes trouble in his school. The child’s name is Eugene Esterhause and he causes problems in the school such as sassing teachers and bullying kids. Mr.Lincoln observes Eugene looking out the window at birds more than once and takes note of that interest. He decides to ask Eugene to help him get more birds at their school atrium. Eugene agrees and slowly a friendship begins to form. Mr.Lincoln finds out that Eugene knows a lot about birds from living on his grandfather’s farm. Mr.Lincoln uses Eugene’s interest in birds to help him realize that bullying is not okay. Eugene beings to refrain from bullying and calling the other kids inappropriate racial names . By the end of the story he is transformed into a model citizen. This book was truly heartwarming. It is a wonderfully story with an important theme, reaching students through their interests and helping them grown as individuals. I hope that I can be just as successful as Mr.Lincoln in reaching students!
