Memory work to recite by Friday: A copy of each will be in your child’s folder - Panda, Ephesians 4:25 (honesty).

Panda

You’re a bamboo bandit.

You’re a piebald dream.

You’re a bear in silk pajamas.

You’re cookies & cream.

You’re the wizard of the mountains.

You’re prestidigitation.

You’re nature’s best example of bear imagination.
