"No one can serve two masters." Matthew 6:24

Phonics & Handwriting: High Frequency Word readers; "I love you, mom" cards;
sight word wheel: in, it, the, you, and, a, she, he, to, on, that, of, is, was

Creative Movement (Tuesday)

Reinforcement ideas for home:
1) Have your child practice writing their full name with UPPER CASE and lowercase letters, i.e. Bob Jones (not BOB JONES)
2) Practice sight words from list above
3) Practice shapes & colors. For example, ask your child to draw a red circle, blue triangle, yellow trapezoid, green diamond, orange rectangle, purple square, etc.
