Today was a busy day.  We reviewed our doubles in math class.  We read "Two of Everything" by Lily Toy Hong.  We also learned a "Doubles Rap" (see below).  Please practice these doubles facts at home, as they need to be in place A.S.A.P.

After the story we talked about what kind of people we wanted to be and what our beliefs are.   

Here are some examples of beliefs from students in our classroom:
