Welcome back, Daily Vitamin readers!
Today is our second day of our Expressions-with-Clothing week and we are learning the expression: TO WEAR ONE'S HEART ON ONE'S SLEEVE.
A SLEEVE is the part of a shirt that covers your arms. We had a lesson about this word back in November of 2012. You can review it at the following link:
