It is finally Thanksgiving

Happy Holiday to all. Thanksgiving is one holiday we can share as Americans no matter what your background is or religious affiliation. It is truly an American Holiday.

I am sorry to say that I needed to give the students some major homework for the weekend. They really need to work on their FCA 2 paper. I handed out the instructions on Tuesday, knowing that many students would not be coming to school on Wednesday this week.
We are having a quiz on the Wordly Wise lesson 5 today - WEDNESDAY. I could not just waste the day.

Speech class. I was rather disappointed in the speeches that were given on Tuesday. I gave the students over a week to research the topic that they chose. Everyone seemed to think that it wasn't very important and did not pay much attention to what I was looking for in this speech. They needed an INTERESTING introduction. We had talked about those in class some. We really are going to have to work on those.
The students also did rather poorly on a quiz on two articles. I gave them the questions to the quiz the night before and they did not bother to look up the answers, even with time given in class. I am Extremely disappointed. I may not ask for a lot of work from the speech students, but I expect the work I do ask for to be done, and done correctly.

Try and have a good weekend. Please finish the papers. All students at ORA are working on FCA papers this weekend.
Thanks
Mrs. Frederick
