All classes will be participating in a group activity this week to read and learn about Books 10-12 of The Odyssey. If you are absent today, please make sure to read the Book 10-12 PDF posted in Google Classroom. You will need this background information in order to understand the activity we do on Friday. I would also recommend answering the following questions for each book in your own notebook to help you understand what you've read:

1. How does Odysseus approach the start of this trial?

2. What trial does he face?

3. How does Odysseus' pride affect the outcome of the trial?

4. What does it show us about his character?

5. How does this trial set up the next trial on his journey?

Good morning/afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

I apologize for being out today. I had an emergency come up (yes everyone is okay!) this morning; I had no intention of being out today at all.  However, I expect nothing but the absolute BEST behavior while I am out.

Your class may be in the library today, or it may be in our classroom with a sub. Either way, you have work to do on the computer. This should be the ONLY thing you are doing in class today - absolutely no games, music, videos, or other websites. Doing any of those (or sleeping) will be given a referral and I will be contacting home. For some of you, that may ruin your eligibility to go on the field trip, participate in homecoming or sports, etc.

Today, you need to log in to IXL through ClassLink (click those words to open ClassLink). You will then login to IXL by clicking the app that looks like this:

Once logged in, you will see in the upper right corner a link that says "Teacher Suggested Skills." Click on this and you will see that I have assigned you 5 different ELA skills to work on; you may also see some math skills your math teacher has assigned. You should choose one of those skills and begin to work your way through it. If you finish, move on to the next skill. To work through all 5 skills, it should take you the entire class period. If you finish early, go to your diagnostic page and clock "recommended skills" to work on those. You should not be doing anything outside of IXL at any point during the class period. No exceptions.

Happy Monday! Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Please check your class tab for further instructions.

Also, a few housekeeping notes:

• When you complete a late slip, you need to put the date you submitted the late slip on the slip, NOT the date you completed the assignment. You must have the late slip submitted within the 2-week late window to receive a grade.
• Permission slips and money (or fee waiver) must be turned in by this Thursday, September 26. It is first-come, first-serve and no one is guaranteed a spot on the field trip. 
• For those of you questioning the dress code portion of the permission slip, here are some examples of what's appropriate: TPAC Dress Code
