Summer coming to an end...

Summer is wrapping up.  Camps are done.  The kids have two weeks left of chilling.  To not completely waste their time, I'm having SW learn to touch-type, while brushing up on his vocabulary in preparation for the upcoming SSATs.  In June... I had him make about 150 flashcards (to which he hasn't flashed once).  

Today... I asked him to starting memorizing 20 words a day and type out 2 sentences using each word.  (There, you don't have to do the typing tutor!!) Here are some of his words and sentences...

2) Some families have aloof relationships but our family is very close

2) One time Loki went too far on a Artifice when he cut off all of lady sif’s hair

Adjunct something or someone in the secondary position.

1) Jarvis is an Adjunct avenger because instead of fighting he helps Tony Stark.  (I came up with this one to help out the kid, then he came up with his own sentence)
2) Friday is an Adjunct avenger because instead of fighting he helps Tony Stark.

Ascertain means to find out by examination.
