*Students should have read chapters 1-3 in Mr. Lincoln's Drummer this past week and be reading chapters 4-9 this week.  (I only have one class set but they can listen to the chapters in Google Classroom if they fall behind or have been absent and need to catch up.) They must write a journal entry (from the main character's point of view) for each chapter as they read it.  There are other task they need to work on but most of these can't be done until we finish the book.  They will have time in class to work on the assignments but may choose to do some work outside of class.  A due date is not set yet, since I need to see how long it will actually take us to read the book.

**We are still in need of glue sticks for the classroom.  We also could use some bags of Skittles for EOG review games that I have planned.
