Hello, we have been reading Percy Jackson as a class today in English. Our teacher has been reading each chapter for us and we are now on the second chapter. Below are the questions we have to answer from Chapter 2 

Chapter 1

1. What kind of school is Yancy Academy?

private boarding school

2. What bad experiences have Percy had on past field trips?

In fifth grade, he accidentally blew up the school bus with a Revolutionary War cannon and got expelled.

3. Why can’t Percy get back at Nancy when she starts teasing Grover on the bus?

Percy is on probation so if he does anything bad, embarrassing, or mildly entertaining, he will get dead by in school.

Why doesn’t Percy get along with Mrs. Dodds?

4. When do you first suspect that something may be unusual/supernatural about Mrs. Dodds?

When she materializes right next to Percy after he gets really angry and Nancy falls into the fountain.

5. In the story about the gods and titans, who were Kronos, and what happened to him after the gods defeated him?

Zeus would chop him up and throw him into Tartarus

6. Why does Percy get angry at Mr. Brunner? How would you have felt in his position?

Percy thought that Mr. Brunner was telling him he was destined to get kicked out.

7. What do you learn about Percy’s home life as he’s watching the taxis on Fifth Avenue?

his mother lives in an apartment uptown, and he wishes he could go there to see her.

8. How does Percy get in trouble with Mrs. Dodds? Do you think it’s his fault?

because he gets so mad his mind goes blank.

9. How have things changed when Percy returns to the front steps of the museum?

They change because the class pretends that there is no Mrs. Dodds.

Chapter 2

1. Why does Percy think the whole school is playing a trick on him?

Because Mrs. Dodds disappears and no one seems to know who she is.

2. Why does Percy decide to study for the Latin exam even though he’s given up on his other subjects?

Because Mr. Brunner tells him that knowledge is the difference between life and death.

3. What leads Percy to believe that Grover and Mr. Brunner think he’s in danger?

He overhears them talking about worry about Percy’s well-being.

4. After the Latin test, what do you think Mr. Brunner was trying to say to Percy? Why does Percy react angrily to Mr. Brunner’s words?

he has potential and is special,

5. How does Percy say he’s different from the other Yancy Academy kids?

Percy is not as rich as the other kids; he also has ADHD and is dyslexic.

6. Why does Percy tell Grover he’s a terrible liar?

it is obvious that Grover lied about there being no Mrs. Dodds

7. What responsibility does Grover claim to have, and why does this strike Percy as strange?

Percy’s protector.

8. How do Percy and Grover end up on the side of the highway?

The bus breaks down.

9. How does Grover react when Percy tells him about the yarn-cutting?

Grover reacts with fear 

10. What does Percy think the yarn-cutting means? Does Grover seem to agree or not?

Grover did not actually give an answer but he looked very sad.

 

Chapter 3

1. Why does Percy leave Grover at the bus station? What would you have done in his place?

Because Grover was scaring him (“freaking him out”), looking at Percy like he was a dead man.

2. Percy says “The best people get the rottenest luck.” How does this apply to his mom?

despite being a good person, she encounters unfortunate circumstances

3. Describe Gabe.

selfish, vain, disrespectful, lazy, and a very impatient man.

4. Why doesn’t Percy tell his mom the truth about Mrs. Dodds and the ladies at the fruit stand?

He doesn’t want to ruin their trip to Montauk and he doesn’t want his mom to worry about him.

5. How does Percy get even with Gabe as they’re loading up the Camaro?

He makes a “warding-off-evil” gesture, a clawed hand over his heart, then a shoving motion.

6. Why is Montauk special to Percy’s mom?

it is the place where Percy’s mother and father met, making it a location of great sentimental value and the starting point of their family’s history.

7. Why does Percy’s mom eat blue food, and why does Percy love this about her?

Because Gabe said once that there was no such thing as blue food, so now she eats as much blue food as possible

8. What new information does Percy learn about his dad as he and his mother are roasting marshmallows?

his father left before he was born

9. Describe Percy’s dream. What do you think it means?

a prediction of what is going to happen in the next chapter.

10. How does the title of the chapter, “Grover Unexpectedly Loses His Pants,” come true?

Grover came so quickly to help that he forgot or lost his pants.

 

It’s wonderful to hear about the various engaging activities you participated in today! Each game you described offers its unique set of challenges and opportunities for growth. Firstly, with the hula hoops game, it’s great that you’re improving and finding your rhythm. Mastering coordination and synchronization with others enhances physical skills (Taha Tinana) and fosters teamwork and cooperation (Taha Whānau), as you and your peers move in sync and support each other.

The human knot game adds another layer of teamwork and problem-solving. Untangling yourselves successfully not only brings a sweet reward but also strengthens bonds within your group (Taha Whānau). The physical movement involved contributes to your overall well-being (Taha Tinana) as it encourages activity and coordination.

Moving on to the play dough game, it’s fantastic that you found joy and relaxation in creating objects related to Wa Hauora. Expressing creativity through art provides a break from routine and allows for self-expression and exploration, benefiting both your mental well-being and sense of identity (Taha Hinengaro).

Lastly, the drawing game showcases your communication skills and ability to interpret instructions. Through active listening and clear communication, you were able to translate descriptions into drawings. This not only hones your artistic skills but also strengthens your interpersonal connections (Taha Whānau) as you engage in meaningful conversations with your peers.

Overall, your participation in these diverse activities contributes positively to various aspects of your well-being (Taha Tinana, Taha Whānau, Taha Hinengaro). Keep embracing these learning experiences and enjoy the journey of growth and discovery ahead! Good luck with your future endeavors!

The Slave triangle 

Saturday, April 10, 1869.

Rose late Mr. Shermen called on me before breakfast. I gave me money to go home with. Bought books. Heard private classes. Attended to book accounts. Finished ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin.’ Over this, I cried profusely. What heart would not melt at perceiving such woes? I believe it was providential that I did not read it before the fall of Slavery; for I might have died a martyr as Uncle Tom did.
Yesterday the Freedmen commemorated the day as the anniversary of the fall of Richmond.
The weather is cold chilly and damp. I have a fire in my room as a consequence.

Sunday, April 11. 1869

Dreary cold snowing. Afternoon attended Foreman preaching. Read a part of the day.

Monday. April 12. 1869
Nothing occurred to arrest the attention of a steady worker. Wrote Mrs. Armstead. Read a part of the autobiography of a shaker. Mr. Victor told me we must teach the colored people the n-word and also that they are n-words.’ I told him that we were doing no such thing.

Tuesday, April 13. 1869.

A cold morning again. I think the fruit is injured.
Wrote Corson & Read in Atlantic Monthly. Note by a carpetbagger in Penna. The rest of the time I taught. Rev. White visited our school today. He addressed the school.

Wednesday, April 14. 1869.

Busy till Ten O’clock at night. I was terribly fooled this evening. Mr. Schadd, a colored teacher of Phila arrived this evening. I took him to the Washington House for supper. This was refused him on account of his color. My God! What does this mean? I had an insulting letter from Maria. How do I feel? God give me grace.

Thursday, April 15. 1869.

Sent Mr. Schadd to Appomattox. Wrote Maria.

Friday, April 16. 1869.

The weather has now become warm. Neglected one of my private classes. The bad company diverted my attention. Went to Alum Springs.

Saturday, April 17. 1869.

R. S. Lacey is confirmed as the Assessor.
I was working half a day fixing my clothes. Mrs. Armistead called on me. I bought her some books. Drew $80.00 money on cigars. Wrote Bauman & Corson. Had a letter from Corson and one from Mrs. M. R. Rile. Wrote Mrs. Lanning Cookwell Va.

Hello,

Today in our homeroom class we have to write about how much sleep we need and how much the majority of us sleep, and the amount that we should be sleeping

• Reading a book
• Showering
• Listening to music 
• Family time
• Mindful activities like yoga etc
• Screen time (watching TV, social media)

Teens tend to go to bed later and want to wake up later. This is biologically driven by a shift forward in their circadian rhythm, their internal “body clock” that guides daily sleep-wake cycles.

Many parents think that their children have been oversleeping but in reality, only about 11% of kids actually get their needed amount of sleep 

Positives 

• The brain grows and is better 
• Dreaming like lucid dreaming 
• Good mental health 
• Repairs your body organs and health 

Minus

• Tired
• Short-tempered 
• Grumpy and lazy
• Poor mental health
• Depressed 
• Headaches 

Challenge: Give your eye and brain a break. Put down your phone 1 hr before bed
