Everyone have a great Thanksgiving! Remember that any gift cards you sell help buy supplies for bigger and better projects. Enjoy your break, and I will see you next week!

We talked about infinitives today.  An infinitive is a verb that has been turned into an adverb.  We also continued work with syllabication today. There is no homework over break, but cadets might want to start working on their book report.  The book report is due December 15, and the book has to be approved before they can read it.

Happy Thanksgiving!
