minutes, minutes, minutes!!

Our total reading minutes as of today are....





67,778!!!

So now, let's do some math:

Students at OMES were challenged to read 150,000 minutes. So far, they have read 67,778 minutes. How many minutes do they need to read in order to reach their goal?

150,000
- 67,778
_______
????????

You only have 3 weeks left! Remember, the last day is
March 13, 2010.

Be the first to leave a comment with the correct answer to the math problem and you will get a special treat!

****UPDATE****

Thanks to Mrs. McClure's and Mr. Henson's classes, the current total is now

74,210!!!

Be sure to subtract this updated total from 150,000 to have the correct answer. :)

Whooo's Reading?

Hey, all of you OWLS out there! Are you reading?

Do you want to see this?


In order to have some sumo-wrestling, we need to READ! Let me help you out.

We have new books! Look over on the Shelfari book shelf to the left and browse through the new titles. Slide your mouse over a book to learn more about it.

Would you like to be the FIRST person to check out one of these books? All you have to do is leave a comment and say which book you would like and why. One lucky person will be chosen for each book.

Good Luck!
