40 Book Challenge
​We are encouraging students to participate in the
​40 Book Challenge this year and read from a variety of genres.  Each student has a 40 Book Challenge log in his/her AR folder.   Students must pass the AR test and have their ELA teachers sign their logs.  Students have until the last AR deadline of the school year to complete this challenge.  
​Please let Mrs. Jones know if you need help finding a book!

Battle of the Books
This year, students will be encouraged to read from a list of books called the Louisiana Young Readers’ Choice nominees.  These are books recommended by the Louisiana State Library.  Reading these books is OPTIONAL and parents should help their children pick out the titles that are the best fit for their own kids.  Common Sense Media and Goodreads are two excellent websites to find reviews of these books.  The titles are geared for middle grade students in grades 4-8.  Students who read and test on these books should be sure to add these to their 40 Book Challenge log and use these points towards their AR goals. Check out the Battle of the Books link on the library’s website for more information on each book.  (lomlibrary.org)
  • Read THREE of the titles:
    • Election Day:  Students who read/test on at least THREE of the titles by January 9th will be allowed to vote for their favorite book on a real voting machine in the spring.  Date TBA.
  • Read FIVE of the titles:
    • Battle of the Books: Students who read at least FIVE of the titles by March 8th will be allowed to join a team for the Battle of the Books (BOB).  Students will compete on teams against each other school-wide.  The winning team from LOM will compete against other area schools in a tournament.
    • Breakfast Club: Students who read at least FIVE of these titles by the last AR deadline will be given a breakfast party.
